Simulation-based hemolysis estimates warrant cautious use in device design; leaves open reliable clinical translation pending in vivo validation.
A proposed numerical method using computational fluid dynamics can estimate blood damage in artificial organs, demonstrating that a Björk-Shiley valve increases the hemolysis index by 7%.
Goubergrits et al. (2004) studied Blood damage in artificial organs. Numerical estimation of blood damage was evaluated on Hemolysis and platelet lysis index. A numerical method for estimating blood damage showed that known experimental data overestimate hemolysis by a factor of 25, and a simulated Björk-Shiley valve increased the hemolysis index by 7%.
