Dynamic behaviour of aortic and chorded mitral prostheses

Abstract:

We study the dynamic behaviour of aortic and chorded mitral prostheses using numerical and experimental methods. An Immersed Boundary (IB) code is developed for the numerical analysis. A left heart simulation rig is used to subject the valves to physiological pressure and flow conditions in a controlled environment. Pressure gradients are recorded and compared with our numerical simulations for four different cycling flow rates. Good agreement is found for both aortic and mitral valves. We co...
