Wall shear stress and pressure patterns in aortic stenosis patients with and without aortic dilation captured by high-performance image-based computational fluid dynamics
Fig 6
Volume rendering of the undisturbed (left, TAVI0 case) and disturbed (right, TAVI2) aortic jet impingement on the aortic wall at time QD.
The undisturbed impingement case shows that the aortic jet changes direction without breakdown while the disturbed impingement case shows the jet undergoing large disturbances while impinging (the destabilizing effect of blowing/suction by Brachiocephalic artery).
