Image-based immersed boundary model of the aortic root [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Each year, approximately 300,000 heart valve repair or replacement procedures are performed worldwide, including approximately 70,000 aortic valve replacement surgeries in the United States alone. This paper describes progress in constructing anatomically and physiologically realistic immersed boundary (IB) models of the dynamics of the aortic root and

Medical Device Safety Act of 2009: Hearing Before the Subcomm. on Health of the H. Comm. on Energy and Commerce, 111th Cong., May 12, 2009 (Statement of David C. Vladeck, Prof. of Law, Geo. U. L. Center) [PDF]
, 2009 I start with a brief history of the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 and explain why that history demonstrates that Congress quite clearly intended to preserve state liability law, not wipe it away.

Vitamin D Deficiency and Driveline Infections in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Pre‐operative vitamin D deficiency was associated with a three‐fold increased risk of driveline infection in left ventricular assist device recipients. This potentially modifiable risk factor could be readily addressed through pre‐implant screening and supplementation, potentially reducing the burden of this common complication.

Fluid-structure interaction simulations of venous valves: a monolithic ALE method for large structural displacements [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Venous valves are bicuspidal valves that ensure that blood in veins only flows back to the heart. To prevent retrograde blood flow, the two intraluminal leaflets meet in the center of the vein and occlude the vessel. In fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations of venous valves, the large structural displacements may lead to mesh deteriorations and

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Frailty significantly impacts clinical outcomes in LVAD recipients. This systematic review and meta‐analysis reveal that frail patients experience higher long‐term mortality but comparable short‐term mortality, hospital stay, and complication rates to non‐frail patients.
