It has been 50 years since Francis Fontan pioneered the operation that today bears his
name. Initially designed for patients with tricuspid atresia, this procedure is now offered for a …

Blood vessels are subjected to complex biomechanical loads, primarily from pressure-driven
blood flow. Abnormal loading associated with vascular grafts, arising from altered …

This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the power that is available for
harvesting in the vehicle suspension system and the tradeoff among energy harvesting, ride …

The simulation of blood flow and pressure in arteries requires outflow boundary conditions
that incorporate models of downstream domains. We previously described a coupled …

The Fontan procedure is a surgery that is performed on single-ventricle heart patients, and,
due to the wide range of anatomies and variations among patients, lends itself nicely to …

Despite improvements in surgical techniques and perioperative management, the overall
results of traditional staged palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) remain …

This is an extensive overview of the core and special space–time and Arbitrary Lagrangian–
Eulerian (ALE) techniques developed by the authors' research teams for patient-specific …

Simulations of blood flow in both healthy and diseased vascular models can be used to
compute a range of hemodynamic parameters including velocities, time varying wall shear …

It has long been recognized that the forces and stresses produced by the blood flow on the
walls of the cardiovascular system are central to the development of different cardiovascular …

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a congenital heart disease which should be
treated at neonate. Even now, its operation is one of the greatest challenges. However …
