A geometric feature tracking approach for noninvasive patient specific estimation of leaflet strain from 3D images of heart valves
Wensi Wu, Matthew Daemer, Jeffrey A. Weiss +2
Valvular heart disease is prevalent and a major contributor to heart failure. Valve leaflet strain is a promising metric for evaluating the mechanics underlying the initiation and…
Biomechanically Informed Image Registration for Patient-Specific Aortic Valve Strain Analysis
Mohsen Nakhaei, Alison Pouch, Silvani Amin +8
Aortic valve (AV) biomechanics play a critical role in maintaining normal cardiac function. Pathological variations, particularly in bicuspid aortic valves, alter leaflet loading,…
Simulation of Repair on Dynamic Patient-Specific Left Atrioventricular Valve Models
Stephen Ching, Christopher Zelonis, Christian Herz +12
Purpose: To develop and evaluate a dynamic, image-derived patient-specific physical simulation platform for the assessment of left atrioventricular valve (LAVV) repair strategies i…
Geodesic-based Predictive Shape Modeling of the Right Ventricle in Patients with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
Ye Han, James Fishbaugh, Jared Vicory +9
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is characterized by severe underdevelopment of left ventricle requiring staged surgical reconstruction (stages) to allow the right ventricle…
