This study adopts a fluid-structure interaction model to investigate the performance of the valve after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). By comparing different valve geometries, it was found that a certain model exhibited lower stress on the valve and stent, improving the reliability of the stent design and reducing the risk of thrombosis.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive surgical treatment for heart valve disease. At present, personalized TAVR valves are not available for some patients. This study adopts the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model of the research object that has a three-disc leaflet form and structural design in the valve leaflet area. The valve opening shape, orifice area, stress-strain, and distribution of hemodynamic flow and pressure were compared under the condition of equal contact area between valve and blood. The FSI method was used to simulate the complex three dimensional characteristics of the flow field more accurately around the valve after TAVR stent implantation. Three personalized stent systems were established to study the performance of the leaflet design based on computational fluid dynamics. By comparing the different leaflet geometries, the maximum stress on leaflets and stents of model B was relatively reduced, which effectively improved the reliability of the stent design. Such valve design also causes the opening area of the valve leaflet to increase and the low-velocity area of the flow field to decrease during the working process of the valve, thus reducing the possibility of thrombosis. These findings can underpin breakthroughs in product design, and provide important theoretical support and technical guidance for clinical research.
