Including Aortic Valve Morphology in Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: Initial Findings and Application to Aortic Coarctation [PDF]
, 2012 Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations quantifying thoracic aortic flow patterns have not included disturbances from the aortic valve (AoV). 80% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) which may cause adverse ...

SmartBot, EarlyView.Magnetic guidewires enable remote navigation in tortuous vasculature but often suffer from limited controllability, inefficient force transmission, and safety risks at bifurcations. This work presents a dual‐coil magnetic guidewire actuated by an external permanent magnet, enabling two steering modes with smooth curvature control and improved axial ...

Briefing Note 1A - Life-Cycle Costs Approach: Costing Sustainable Services [PDF]
, 2011 This briefing note uses an accounting framework, the life-cycle costs approach (LCCA), to explain the main cost components for water and sanitation in rural and peri-urban areas. The briefing note explains the building blocks used in the LCCA, then shows

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...
