Finite element analysis of TAVI: Impact of native aortic root computational modeling strategies on simulation outcomes

Aortic Stenosis (AS) is the most common form of valvular heart disease in developed countries, occurring in 3% of people older than 65 [1]. It is a degenerative disease of the aortic valve, compromising its function of regulating blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta, with significant consequences on morbidity and mortality of patients, thus representing a current relevant clinical problem.
