Computational fluid dynamics modelling of left valvular heart diseases during atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Although atrial fibrillation (AF), a common arrhythmia, frequently presents in patients with underlying valvular disease, its hemodynamic contributions are not fully understood. The present work aimed to computationally study how physical conditions imposed by pathologic valvular anatomy act on AF hemodynamics.

Anesthetic considerations in supravalvular aortic stenosis: A case series
Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS), characterized by elastin arteriopathy, presents either as a localized narrowing at the sinotubular junction or as a diffuse form with additional involvement of the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and its branches ...

Aortic stenosis occurs when the heart's aortic valve narrows. This narrowing prevents the valve from opening fully, which obstructs blood flow from the heart into the aorta and onward to the rest of the body.

Simulation-Based Design of Bicuspidization of the Aortic Valve [PDF]
Objective: Severe congenital aortic valve pathology in the growing patient remains a challenging clinical scenario. Bicuspidization of the diseased aortic valve has proven to be a promising repair technique with acceptable durability. However, most understanding of the procedure is empirical and retrospective.

Iatrogenic Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis [PDF]
AbstractWe describe a case of hemolytic anemia and proximal anastomotic site stenosis following emergency repair of a Type A aortic dissection. This rare complication led to a reoperation to correct the iatrogenic aortic stenosis and cure the consequent hemolysis.

A deep learning approach to using wearable seismocardiography (SCG) for diagnosing aortic valve stenosis and predicting aortic hemodynamics obtained by 4D flow MRI [PDF]
In this paper, we explored the use of deep learning for the prediction of aortic flow metrics obtained using 4D flow MRI using wearable seismocardiography (SCG) devices. 4D flow MRI provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics, but it is costly and time-consuming.

Factors influencing early and late outcome of the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries [PDF]
Between January 1983 and January 1992, 470 patients underwent an arterial switch operation at our institution. An intact (or virtually intact) ventricular septum was present in 278 of 470 (59%); a ventricular septal defect was closed in the remaining 192.

Wall shear stress and pressure patterns in aortic stenosis patients with and without aortic dilation captured by high-performance image-based computational fluid dynamics [PDF]
Spatial patterns of elevated wall shear stress and pressure due to blood flow past aortic stenosis (AS) are studied using GPU-accelerated patient-specific computational fluid dynamics. Three cases of moderate AS, one with a dilated ascending aorta and two within the normal range (root diameter less than 4cm) are simulated for physiological beat cycle ...
