Mathematical and numerical modelling of the human cardiovascular system has attracted remarkable research interest due to its intrinsic mathematical difficulty and the increasing …
Even though the mechanical heart valve (MHV) has been used routinely in clinical practice for over 60 years, the occurrence of serious complications such as blood clotting remains to …
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an important tool for the simulation of the cardiovascular function and dysfunction. Due to the complexity of the anatomy, the …
There exists considerable controversy surrounding the timing and extent of aortic resection for patients with BAV disease. Since abnormal wall shear stress (WSS) is potentially …
Patient-specific computational modeling is increasingly being used to predict structural and hemodynamic parameters, especially when current clinical tools are not accessible. Indeed …

The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital valvular defect and a major risk factor for secondary calcific aortic valve disease. While hemodynamics is presumed to …
In this paper, we propose a full computational framework to simulate the hemodynamics in the aorta including the valve. Closed and open valve surfaces, as well as the lumen aorta …
Purpose Absolute local normalized helicity (LNH) can differentiate flow alterations in the aorta between healthy controls and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients. Methods A total of …
