No Strings Attached: Predicting Tricuspid Valve Deformation Without In Vivo Chordal Geometry

This paper develops a framework to predict tricuspid valve deformation without needing in vivo chordal geometry, using shape-matching and stress-based calibration to generate synthetic chordae.

Flow alters fibrin molecular and network structure and decreases binding of fibrinolytic enzymes

This study shows that arterial-like flow alters fibrin structure, reduces molecular transport, and decreases binding of fibrinolytic enzymes like Plg and tPA.

Understanding the Mechanisms Behind the Annuloplasty Effect in Tricuspid Valve TEER: A Computational Study

This study investigates how TEER-induced annular forces affect the annuloplasty effect in tricuspid valves using computational simulations.

MRI-Based Blood Clot Phenotyping: An In Vitro Study

This study shows MRI can predict blood clot composition and contraction state using radiomic features, supporting its use for pre-interventional clot phenotyping.

Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair Increases Annular Forces in In Vitro Whole Heart Preparations

This study measures annular forces from TEER in porcine hearts, finding that force magnitude varies with clip placement and number of clips.

In vitro blood clot mechanical properties depend on fibrinogen and white blood cell subtypes in addition to hematocrit

This study investigates how fibrinogen levels and white blood cell subtypes, along with hematocrit and sex, influence in vitro blood clot mechanical properties.
