Transcatheter valve replacement is a revolutionary, minimally invasive alternative to surgery for patients with heart valve disease. With over 1.5 million procedures performed worldwide and expectations of a sharp increase in the coming years, there is growing concerns about the rise in adverse events such as coronary obstruction and valve thrombosis. It is anticipated that the interaction between the implanted transcatheter heart valve with patient-specific anatomy may give rise to unfavourable hemodynamics, contributing to these adverse events. In this seminar, we will explore the role of computational modelling and simulation in improving our mechanistic understanding of these events, and as a tool to assist clinicians in patient selection and pre-procedural planning, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
