A Fully Coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction Model for Patient-Specific Analysis of Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Haemodynamics
Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology(2025)
Abstract
BackgroundBioprosthetic aortic valves (BPAV) have been increasingly used for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), but long-term complications associated with structural valve deterioration remain a concern. The structural behaviour of the valve and its surrounding haemodynamics play a key role in the long-term outcome of SAVR, and these can be quantitively analysed by means of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation. The aim of this study was to develop a fully coupled FSI model for patient-specific analysis of BPAV haemodynamics.MethodsUsing the Edwards Magna Ease valve as an example, the workflow included reconstruction of the aortic root from CT images and the creation of valve geometric model based on available measurements made on the device. Two-way fully coupled FSI simulations were performed under patient-specific flow conditions derived from 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the latter also provided data for model validation.ResultsThe simulation results were in good agreement with haemodynamic features extracted from 4D flow MRI and relevant data in the literature. Furthermore, the FSI model provided additional information that cannot be measured in vivo, including wall shear stress and its derivatives on the valve leaflets and in the aortic root.ConclusionThe FSI workflow presented in this study offers a promising tool for patient-specific assessment of aortic valve haemodynamics, and the results may help elucidate the role of haemodynamics in structural valve deterioration.

Key content
- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
