Towards Modeling the Hemodynamic Impact of Mitral and Aortic Valve Repair in Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices

Valve dysfunction is a major threat to long-term success in left ventricle assist device (LVAD) therapy, with direct implications for right heart performance. In this study, we apply a patient-specific, image-based computational modeling framework to evaluate the hemodynamic impact of simulated mitral and aortic valve...
