Blunt trauma is a major complication of high-speed motor vehicle crashes, often resulting in injuries of varying severity. Cardiac trauma accounts for about 18% of blunt chest injuries, the third most common death cause. Experimental studies described cardiac consequences after impact; however, none have captured the ventricular flow behavior during the i ...

Purpose: The MitraClip device has emerged as an effective treatment option for patients with mitral regurgitation. However, implementing a MitraClip alters the mitral valve structure and left ventricular flow dynamics. In this study, we experimentally investigate the effects of the MitraClip and the resulting twin pulsed jets on flow dynamics within the l ...

PURPOSE: Aortic valve replacement remains the only viable solution for symptomatic patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. Despite their improved design and long history of successful operation, bileaflet mechanical heart valves are still associated with post-operative complications leading to valve dysfunction. Thus, the flow dynamics can be highly d ...
