Computational dye washout may guide monoleaflet valve optimization; leaves open in vivo validation for thrombosis reduction.
Absolute Event Rate: 0.2753% vs 0.6834%
Numerical dye washout visualization is a feasible computational method to assess flow stagnation and optimize artificial heart valve design to potentially reduce thrombosis risk.
Goubergrits et al. (2006) studied Heart valve prosthesis thromboembolic risk. Optimized monoleaflet valve design vs. Original valve design was evaluated on Half dye time. Numerical dye washout visualization demonstrated a half dye time of 0.2753 s in the best optimized monoleaflet valve compared to 0.6834 s in the original valve.
