Fig. 6From: Understanding the influence of left ventricular assist device inflow cannula alignment and the risk of intraventricular thrombosisEvaluated inflow cannula angles, boundary conditions and mesh. a The alignment of the inflow cannula towards the mitral valve was used as the reference case. The flow rates were driven by a lumped parameter network (LPN) that was one-way coupled to the computational fluid dynamics simulation. b Computational mesh for the 25 s scenarioBack to article page
