A Fluid–Structure Interaction Study of Different Bicuspid Aortic Valve Phenotypes Throughout the Cardiac Cycle

The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital malformation of the aortic valve with a variety of structural features. The current research on BAV mainly focuses on the systolic phase, while ignoring the diastolic hemodynamic characteristics and valve mechanics. The purpose of this study is to comp...
