Fluid–Structure Simulation of a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Potential Application to Patient-Specific Cases

Valve diseases are more and more treated with transcatheter aortic valves. This work is based on an experimental setup with the corresponding fluid–structure interaction model to show the feasibility of performing accurate simulations which is able to capture the main behavior of a transcatheter valve both from structural and fluid dynamic points of view. The application of this methodology to patient-specific cases is also illustrated
