摘要: BACKGROUND Although LVADs are confirmed to have strong effects on aortic hemodynamics, the precise mechanisms of helical flow component LVAD outflow still unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS To clarify these effects, 3 cases - normal case, flat and realistic case were designed studied by using CFD approach. The denoted aorta without support, represented with cannula. Similarly, included model, model cannula, LVAD. velocity vector, blood streamline, distribution wall shear stress (WSS), local normalized helicity (LNH) calculated. RESULTS results showed that significantly improved hemodynamics. Compared eliminated vortex near outer transport (normal 0.1 m/s vs. 0.14 0.30 m/s) at descending aorta. Moreover, was even WSS, reduce peak value WSS 0.92 Pa 7.39 5.2Pa), maintain a more orderly direction. CONCLUSIONS has significant advantages for improving hemodynamic stability. Our study provides novel insights into optimization.
