Numerical simulation of left ventricular assist device implantations: comparing the ascending and the descending aorta cannulations

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Adelmo Cristiano Innocenza Malossi, Jean Bonnemain, Matteo Lesinigo, Ludwig Von Segesser

In this work we present numerical simulations of continuous flow left ventricle assist device implantation with the aim of comparing the ascending and the descending aorta anastomosis of outflow cannula. Despite the fact that the second approach is less in ...

Artificial Muscle for End-Stage Heart Failure

Alexandre Michalis, Didier Locca, Ludwig Von Segesser

We describe a device made of artificial muscle for the treatment of end-stage heart failure as an alternative to current heart assist devices. The key component is a matrix of nitinol wires and aramidic fibers called Biometal muscle (BM). When heated elect ...

The non-circular shape of FloWatch®-PAB prevents the need for pulmonary artery reconstruction after banding

Alfio Quarteroni, Paolo Zunino, Ludwig Von Segesser

To evaluate the differences between non-circular shape of FloWatch®-PAB and conventional pulmonary artery (PA) banding. Methods: Geometrical analysis. Conventional banding and FloWatch®-PAB perimeters were plotted against cross-sections. Computational flui ...
