Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a dilation of the abdominal aorta (above 50 % of its original diameter), which can cause death upon rupturing. It usually grows asymptomatically leading to late clinical intervention. The ...
Hemodynamic design optimization of a ventricular cannula applying Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

Bordones, Alifer D.; Rojas-Solórzano, Luis R. (Italian Association of Chemical Engineering - AIDIC, 2016-04-01)

Nowadays, a Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) is a hope of clinic solution to patients with heart failure. This study presents the design of the "trumpet mouth" ventricular cannula (TMVC) connected to a pediatric VAD, optimized ...
