Influence of the tilt angle of Percutaneous Aortic Prosthesis on Velocity and Shear Stress Fields

Abstract Background: Due to the nature of the percutaneous prosthesis deployment process, a variation in its final position is expected. Prosthetic valve placement will define the spatial location of its effective orifice in relation to the aortic annulus. The blood flow pattern in the ascending ao...
