Abstract The turbulence in the blood flow, caused by plaque deposition on the arterial wall, increases by the combined effect of the complex plaque geometries and the pulsatile blood flow. The correlation between the plaque geometry, the pulsatile inlet flow and the induced turbulence in a constricted artery is investigated in this study. Pressure drop, flow velocity and wall shear stress are determined for stenosed coronary artery models with three different degrees of asymmetric stenosis and...

Abstract Current clinical assessment of functional tricuspid valve regurgitation relies on metrics quantified from medical imaging modalities. Although these clinical methodologies are generally successful, the lack of detailed information about the mechanical environment of the valve presents inherent challenges for assessing tricuspid valve regurgitation. In the present study, we have developed a finite element‐based in‐silico model of one porcine tricuspid valve (TV) geometry to investigate...

Abstract In a normal cardiac cycle, the trileaflet aortic valve opening is progressive, which correlates with the phasic blood flow. Therefore, we aimed to determine the impact of including an anatomically accurate reconstructed trileaflet aortic valve within a fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) simulation model and determine the cyclical hemodynamic forces imposed on the thoracic aortic walls from aortic valve opening to closure. A pediatric patient with a normal trileaflet valve was recruited....
