The Effects of the Mechanical Properties of Vascular Grafts and an Anisotropic Hyperelastic Aortic Model on Local Hemodynamics during Modified Blalock–Taussig Shunt Operation, Assessed Using FSI Simulation
Cardiovascular surgery requires the use of state‐of‐the‐art artificial materials. For example, microporous polytetrafluoroethylene grafts manufactured by Gore‐Tex® are used for the treatment of cyanotic heart defects (i.e., modified Blalock–Taussig shunt). Significant mortality during this palliativ...
