Complications of atrial fibrillation (AF) include ischemic events originating within the left appendage (LAA), a protrusion atrium with variable morphological characteristics. The role patient specific morphology and pathological haemodynamics on risk ischemia remains unclear.
Atrial fibrillation ( AF ) is a common arrhythmia mainly affecting the elderly population, which can lead to serious complications such as stroke, ischaemic attack and vascular dementia. These problems are caused by thrombi mostly originate in left atrial appendage LAA ), small muscular sac protruding from atrium. The abnormal heart rhythm associated with results alterations muscle contractions some reshaping of cardiac chambers. This study aims verify if how these physiological changes...
A large majority of thrombi causing ischemic complications under atrial fibrillation (AF) originate in the left appendage (LAA), an anatomical structure departing from atrium, characterized by a morphological variability between individuals. This work analyses hemodynamics simulated for different patient-specific models LAA means computational fluid-structure interaction studies, modeling effect changes contractility and shape resulting AF.Three operating conditions were analyzed: sinus...
Inversion of the left atrial appendage is a rare phenomenon, which may occur during de-airing maneuvers associated to routinely performed surgery procedures, such as cardiopulmonary bypass or ventricular assist device implantation. In this case, body inverted can obstruct mitral valve leading severe complications. The mechanisms are still poorly known, and more specific studies needed better understand its causes identify mitigating strategies. current study attempts gain comprehension...
Background Arterial dissection, a condition marked by the tearing of carotid artery’s inner layers, can result in varied clinical outcomes, including progression, stability, or spontaneous regression. Understanding these outcomes’ underlying mechanisms is crucial for enhancing patient care, particularly with increasing use computer simulations medical diagnostics and treatment planning. The aim this study to utilize computational analysis blood flow vascular wall to: (1) understand...
