Background Stroke remains a concern after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Several studies attempted to identify correlates of stroke but there need for better predictors. Objective This study aims characterize the arch potential TAVR using patient cohort that includes cases with and without stroke. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 52 patients who underwent at Mayo Clinic Maria Cecilia Hospital. Of these patients, 26 had did not (control). Anatomical...
Acute ischemic stroke complicates 2% to 3% of transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs). This study aimed identify the anatomic correlates in patients after TAVR stroke.
Abstract Background The exclusion/occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is a treatment option for fibrillation (AF) patients who are at high risk stroke and bleeding. As role LAA not well understood or explored, this study aims to assess its on flow dynamics in atrium. Methods Computational fluid (CFD) simulations were carried out nine AF before after exclusion. parameters investigated included LA velocities, Time Averaged Wall Shear Stress (TAWSS), Oscillatory Index (OSI), Relative...
Abstract Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education workshops programs play a key role in promoting early exposure to scientific applications questions. Such engagement leads growing not only passion interest science, but it also skill development through hands-on learning critical thinking activities. Integrating physiology engineering together is necessary especially promote health technology awareness introduce the young generation areas where innovation needed...
Device-related thrombosis (DRT) occurs in up to 4% of patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) and is associated with substantial morbidity mortality. However, its pathophysiology, predictors, optimal management remain unclear.

The cause for the association between increased cardiovascular mortality rates and lower blood pressure (BP) after aortic valve replacement (AVR) is unclear. This study aims to assess how epicardial coronary flow (ECF) AVR varies as BP levels are changed in presence of a right lesion.
Our objective was to evaluate the impact of various blood pressures (BPs) on coronary perfusion and valvular hemodynamics following aortic valve replacement (AVR).Lower systolic diastolic (SBP/DBP) from recommended optimal target range SBP < 120-130 mmHg DBP 80 after AVR have been independently associated with increased cardiovascular all-cause mortality.The hemodynamic assessment a 26 mm SAPIEN 3 transcatheter (TAV), 29 Evolut R TAV, 25 Magna Ease surgical (SAV) performed in pulsed left...
