Ventricular assist devices for all? [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2012 In the past 5 years, the numbers of ventricular assist device (VAD) systems implanted worldwide have increased exponentially. Thus, since the introduction of the HeartMate II LVAD by Thoratec (Thoratec Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA) over 10 000 of these pumps have been implanted.

The Variational Multiscale Formulation for the Fully-Implicit Log-Morphology Equation as a Tensor-Based Blood Damage Model [PDF]
, 2019 We derive a variational multiscale (VMS) finite element formulation for a viscoelastic, tensor-based blood damage model. The tensor equation is numerically stabilized by a logarithmic shape tensor description that prevents unphysical, negative eigenvalues.
