TAVI Simulation - SimInSitu

The SimInSitu project granted by the EU under the call H2020-SC1-2016-2017 focuses on the development of a computational platform for patient-specific modeling of the treatment of a stenotic aortic valve by transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The credibility of the proposed patient-specific TAVI model is established through model development aligned with ASME V&V40 guidelines. The patient-specific TAVI model encompasses the deployment of the Sapien 3 (S3) Ultra device, followed by a post-TAVI analysis of bioprosthetic hemodynamics.

This public repository is built with the intent to disseminate the in-silico methodology to assess the S3 device structural and heamodynamic performance. The user can run different patient-specific cases to assess the impact of patient boundary conditions (ie, blood pressure), material properties of the aortic root, and device implantation depth.
