TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss valve pathologies such as valve stenosis, regurgitation, failure and similar, for which usually a valve substitution is performed. But valve substitution may not always be beneficial.

TL;DR: A novel framework for the fluid dynamics analysis of healthy subjects and patients affected by ascending thoracic aorta aneurysm (aTAA) and the proposed integrated approach of RBF morphing technique and CFD simulation for aTAA was demonstrated.

TL;DR: 3D printed models could be useful in interventional planning, although prospective studies with comprehensive and clinically meaningful endpoints are required to demonstrate the clinical utility.

TL;DR: A minimally invasive aortic valve positioning process through a previously designed soft robot was simulated, and the adoption of the weighting process for the fitting was successful, as it permitted an accurate prediction in the region of interest through models with less parameters.

TL;DR: An innovative method based on Radial Basis Functions (RBF) mesh morphing is proposed, allowing the retention of the same mesh topology suitable for a continuum update of the shape.
