Description: |
This study evaluates the fluid dynamics inside and outside transcatheter blood pump positioned in the aorta. We focus on the pump's impact on blood component damage and arterial wall stress. CFD simulations were performed for rotational speeds ranging from 6000 to 15000 rpm, with a blood flow rate of 1.6 L/min. Results show that significant blood damage may occur at speeds as low as 12000 rpm, and the pump's outflow jet induces elevated wall shear stress, potentially leading to arterial aneurysms. These findings suggest the need for further design improvements to reduce risks when used in prolonged or transplant-related applications. |
