Aortic valve replacement has become an increasing concern due to the rising prevalence of
aortic stenosis in an ageing population. Existing replacement options have limitations …

Severe aortic valve stenosis can lead to heart failure and aortic valve replacement (AVR) is
the primary treatment. However, increasing prevalence of aortic stenosis cases reveal …

Background Aortic valve replacement is a common procedure for many patients when their
native aortic valve malfunction either because of aortic stenosis or aortic insufficiency. Due …

Aortic valve replacement (AVR) does not usually restore physiological flow profiles.
Complex flow profiles are associated with aorta dilatation, ventricle remodeling, aneurysms …

Since the introduction of transcatheter aortic valve (AV) implantation as a viable option,
surgical bioprosthetic AVs have recently started incorporating shorter struts considering …

Flow physics of transvalvular flows in the aorta with bioprosthetic valves are investigated
using computational modelling. For the efficient simulations of flow-structure-interaction in …

The hemodynamic performance of artificial aortic valves (AVs) and the probability for
structural valve deterioration can be linked to the valve kinematics. Comparability among …

Velocity profiles and Reynolds stresses downstream of heart valve prostheses are vital
parameters in the study of hemolysis and thrombus formation associated with these valves …

Objectives In aortic valve replacement (AVR), the treatment strategy as well as the model
and size of the implanted prosthesis have a major impact on the postoperative …

In a normal cardiac cycle, the trileaflet aortic valve opening is progressive, which correlates
with the phasic blood flow. Therefore, we aimed to determine the impact of including an …
