In the field of cardiology, the current ability to accurately detect diastolic dysfunction is unsatisfactory due to the lack of an effective diagnostic index. Isolated indexes obtained from echocardiography are all restricted to a certain aspect of ventricular diastolic function only, and individually cannot be regarded...

Stenting may provide a new, less invasive therapeutic option for cerebral aneurysms. However, a conventional porous stent may be insufficient in modifying the blood flow for clinical aneurysms. We designed an asymmetric stent consisting of a low porosity patch welded onto a porous stent for an anterior cerebral artery aneurysm of a specific patient geometry to block the strong inflow jet... … 2.5. Angiographic flow visualization The rapid prototype aneurysm model was inserted in a flow loop consisting of a waveform generator, a pump, and a flow meter; the flow was activated by a heart simulating pump (Vivitro Systems Inc., Canada) …

Two sets of phase resolved PIV measurements were performed in the Valsalva sinuses of a glass mock aortic root including three polymeric valve leaflets, before and after the implant of a Medtronic CoreValve TAVI device. The experiments were carried out in a hydro-mechanical cardiovascular pulse duplicator system (Vivitro Superpump System SP3891) r...

Abnormality in cardiac fluid dynamics is highly correlated with several heart conditions. This is particularly true in valvular heart diseases and congenital heart defects where changes in flow-field accompany significant variations in chambers’ pressure gradients. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a convenient technique in assessing cardiac fluid dynamics in vitro...

We aim to validate the performance of our fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulations of a bi-leaflet mechanical heart valve in the aortic position., whose motion is driven by the beating left ventricle. We compare in vitro experiments and computations performed on an idealized model of the left ventricle (LV) with a St. Jude Medical Regent heart valve in the aortic position.

Stenosed carotid artery is responsible for 60% of strokes in the United States and is the third major cause of death. Recently, there is an increasing interest in carotid artery stenting for treatment of cervical carotid artery bifurcation atherosclerotic disease. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop, prototype, test, and optimize a novel design of a covered carotid stent, in order to achieve emboli prevention and...

An impedance pump – also known as Liebau pump – is a simple valveless pump that operates based on the principles of wave propagation and reflection. It has been shown in embryonic zebrafish that a similar mechanism is responsible for the pumping action in the embryonic heart during the early stages before valve formation...

We carry out high-resolution laboratory experiments and numerical simulations to investigate the dynamics of unsteady vortex formation across the neck of an anatomic in vitro model of an intracranial aneurysm. A transparent acrylic replica of the aneurysm is manufactured and attached to a pulse duplicator system in the laboratory.

A novel tissue-engineered heart valve (TEHV) was fabricated from a decellularized tissue tube mounted on a frame with three struts, which upon back-pressure cause the tube to collapse into three coapting "leaflets." The tissue was completely biological, fabricated from ovine fibroblasts dispersed within a fibrin gel,...
