The hemodynamics in the aorta as well as the durability of aortic valve prostheses vary
greatly between different types of devices. Although placement and sizing of surgical aortic …

Numerical simulations of pulsatile blood flow in an aortic coarctation require the use of
turbulence modeling. This paper considers three models from the class of large eddy …

Purpose To find the best level to measure aortic flow for quantification of aortic regurgitation
(AR) in 4D flow CMR. Methods In 27 congenital heart disease patients with AR (67% male …

Transcatheter aortic heart valve thrombosis (THVT) affects long-term valve durability,
transvalvular pressure gradient and leaflet mobility. In this study, we conduct high-fidelity …

The etiology of transcatheter heart valve thrombosis (THVT) and the relevance of the aortic
root geometry on the occurrence of THVT are largely unknown. The first aim of this pilot …

There are several methods for treating aortic stenosis including transcatheter valve
implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement. Among these, TAVI is highly …

It has been recognized that blood flow in large vessels, such as the aorta, may undergo a
transition to turbulent flow in the presence of cardiovascular disorders, while flow in the …

In the present work, the problem of RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes) turbulence
modeling is investigated from a novel angle by considering recently discovered constraints …

Turbulent flows are of central importance across applications in science and engineering
problems. For design and analysis, scientists and engineers use Computational Fluid …

Long-term data on Lotus®(Boston Scientific, USA) transcatheter aortic valve prostheses are
lacking. Our study suggests that higher cardiovascular mortality rates during mid-term follow …
