Numerical characterization of hemodynamics conditions near aortic valve after implantation of left ventricular assist device
Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) are implantable mechanical pumps that temporarily aid the function of theleft ventricle. The use of LVADs has been associated with thrombus formation next to the aortic valve and close to the anastomosis region,especially in patients in which the native cardia...
