Fluid structure interaction simulation of left ventricular flow dynamics under left ventricular assist device support

For patient’s receiving mechanical circulatory support, malfunction of the left ventricular assist device (LVADs) as well as mal-positioning of the cannula imposes serious threats to their life. It is therefore important to characterize the flow pattern and pressure distribution within the vent...
