Hemodynamic effects of a dielectric elastomer augmented aorta on aortic wave intensity: An in-vivo study

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Francesco Clavica, Armando Matthieu Walter, Silje Ekroll Jahren, Lorenzo Ferrari

Dielectric elastomer actuator augmented aorta (DEA) represents a novel approach with high potential for assisting a failing heart. The soft tubular device replaces a section of the aorta and increases its diameter when activated. The hemodynamic interactio ...

Fluid dynamics of an idealized left ventricle: the extended Nitsche's method for the treatment of heart valves as mixed time varying boundary conditions

Alfio Quarteroni, Anna Tagliabue

In this work, we study the blood flow dynamics in idealized left ventricles (LV) of the human heart modelled by the Navier-Stokes equations with mixed time varying boundary conditions. The latter are introduced for simulating the functioning of the aortic ...

Numerical modeling of heart valves using resistive Eulerian surfaces

Alfio Quarteroni, Aymen Laadhari

The goal of this work is the development and numerical implementation of a mathematical model describing the functioning of heart valves. To couple the pulsatile blood flow with a highly deformable thin structure (the valve's leaflets), a resistive Euleria ...

MATHICSE Technical Report: Fluid dynamics of an idealized left ventricle: the extended Nitsche’s method for the treatment of heart valves as mixed time varying boundary conditions

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Anna Tagliabue

In this work, we study the blood flow dynamics in idealized left ventricles (LV)of the human heart modelled by the Navier-Stokes equations with mixed time varying boundary conditions (BCs). The latter are introduced for simulating the functioning of the ao ...

Modeling the fluid dynamics of the heart: from blood flows in idealized left ventricles to patient-specific aortic valve simulations

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Luca Dede', Davide Forti, Elena Faggiano, Anna Tagliabue, Marco Fedele

The computational fluid dynamics of the heart represents a challenging task both in terms of mathematical and numerical modeling; this is mainly due to the pulsatile nature of the blood flow, to its complex interaction with the valves, and, more in general ...

Off-the-shelf human decellularized tissue-engineered heart valves in a non-human primate model

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni, Chad Brokopp

Heart valve tissue engineering based on decellularized xenogenic or allogenic starter matrices has shown promising first clinical results. However, the availability of healthy homologous donor valves is limited and xenogenic materials are associated with i ...

Comprehensive analysis of Lenz effect on the artificial heart valves during magnetic resonance imaging

Juan Ramon Mosig, Laleh Golestanirad

This work presents results of a comprehensive analysis of the Lenz effect due to motion of artificial heart valves during magnetic resonance imaging. The interaction of rotating metallic heart valves with magnetic fields is studied by performing a time-dom ...
