Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital heart malformation with phenotypic heterogeneity. There is no prior computational study that assesses the haemodynamic and valve mechanics associated with BAV type 2 against a healthy tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) and other BAV categories. METHODS: A proof-of-concept study incorporating three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models with idealised...
