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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Combined Supravalvular Aortic and Pulmonic Stenosis [PDF]
The association of supravalvular aortic stenosis and postvalvular pulmonic stenosis is described in three patients. In addition to the clinical findings resulting from obstruction to both ventricular outflow tracts, other unusual features were also present, such as a difference in the pulses and blood pressure of the upper extremities and absence of ...

Automatic Aortic Valve Pathology Detection from 3-Chamber Cine MRI with Spatio-Temporal Attention Maps [PDF]
The assessment of aortic valve pathology using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) typically relies on blood velocity estimates acquired using phase contrast (PC) MRI. However, abnormalities in blood flow through the aortic valve often manifest by the dephasing of blood signal in gated balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) scans (Cine MRI).
