Right ventricular dysfunction represents a common problem in patients with congenital heart
defects, such as Tetralogy of Fallot or pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients with …

Patients with repaired or palliated right heart congenital heart disease (CHD) are often left
with residual lesions that progress and can result in significant morbidity. However, right …

Bone tissue engineering (BTE) uses engineering principles to repair large bone defects,
which requires effective mass transport ability of scaffolds to support cellular activities during …

In this work we present the material-symmetries congruency property for anisotropic
hyperelastic materials. A transversely isotropic or orthotropic material model holding this …

Patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), a congenital heart defect which includes a
ventricular septal defect and severe right ventricular outflow obstruction, account for the …

Lying at the intersection between engineering and biology, mechanobiology is a nascent
field of study that investigates adaptation of the structure and behavior of tissues in response …

Background Porcine aortic valve (PAV) and bovine aortic valve (BAV) are commonly used in
aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgeries. A detailed comparison for their hemodynamic and …

Pulmonary regurgitation is the most common, clinically-important, complication that affects
an increasing population of adult patients with congenital heart disease, primarily with …

Congenital heart disease patients (CHD) with complex right heart disease are often left with
residual lesions that result in right ventricular (RV)-pulmonary artery (PA) dysfunction post …

Introduction Right ventricle (RV) failure is one of the most common symptoms among
patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The current surgery treatment approach …
