Among these, mechanical PHVs are the most frequently implanted. Unfortunately, these devices still do not achieve ideal behavior and lead to many complications, many of which are related to fluid mechanics. The fluid dynamics of mechanical PHVs are particularly complex and the fine-scale characteristics of such flows call for very accurate experimental techniques. Adequate temporal resolution can be reached by applying time-resolved PIV, a high-resolution dynamic technique which is able to capture detailed chronological changes in the velocity field. The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the evolution of the flow field in a detailed time domain of a commercial bileaflet PHV in a mock-loop mimicking unsteady conditions, by means of time-resolved 2D Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The investigated flow field corresponded to the region immediately downstream of the valve plane. Spatial resolution as in \u201cstandard\u201d PIV analysis of prosthetic valve fluid dynamics was used. The combination of a Nd:YLF high-repetition-rate double-cavity laser with a high frame rate CMOS camera allowed a detailed, highly temporally resolved acquisition (up to 10000 fps depending on the resolution) of the flow downstream of the PHV. Features that were observed include the non-homogeneity and unsteadiness of the phenomenon and the presence of large-scale vortices within the field, especially in the wake of the valve leaflets. Furthermore, we observed that highly temporally cycle-resolved analysis allowed the different behaviors exhibited by the bileaflet valve at closure to be captured in different acquired cardiac cycles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>By accurately capturing hemodynamically relevant time scales of motion, time-resolved PIV characterization can realistically be expected to help designers in improving PHV performance and in furnishing comprehensive validation with experimental data on fluid dynamics numeric modelling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/039139880703000210","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,12]],"date-time":"2018-01-12T01:55:23Z","timestamp":1515722123000},"page":"153-162","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Time-Resolved PIV Technique for High Temporal Resolution Measurement of Mechanical Prosthetic Aortic Valve Fluid Dynamics"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Kaminsky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute Biomedical Technology, Ghent University, Ghent - Belgium"},{"name":"ILA GmbH, Julich - Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"U.","family":"Morbiducci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanics, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Rossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanics, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Scalise","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanics, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Verdonck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute Biomedical Technology, Ghent University, Ghent - Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Grigioni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiovascular Bioengineering Unit, Technology and Health Dept., Istituto Superiore di Sanit\u00e0, Rome - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0021-9290(90)90380-L"},{"key":"bibr2-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3233\/BIR-1984-21605"},{"key":"bibr3-039139880703000210","first-page":"154","volume":"42","author":"Fontaine A.A.","year":"1996","journal-title":"ASAIO J"},{"key":"bibr4-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.58.1.70"},{"key":"bibr5-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/039139889001300507"},{"key":"bibr6-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9290(01)00132-4"},{"key":"bibr7-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1107","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9290(99)00063-9","volume":"32","author":"Grigioni M.","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Biomech"},{"key":"bibr8-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000070590.42796.F0"},{"key":"bibr9-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/039139889702001105"},{"key":"bibr10-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1115\/1.2895503"},{"key":"bibr11-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1114\/1.244"},{"key":"bibr12-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02443958"},{"key":"bibr13-039139880703000210","first-page":"673","volume":"3","author":"Sung H.W.","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Heart Valve Dis"},{"key":"bibr14-039139880703000210","first-page":"600","volume":"5","author":"Ellis J.T.","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Heart Valve Dis"},{"key":"bibr15-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.fl.23.010191.001401"},{"key":"bibr16-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1586\/17434440.1.1.81"},{"key":"bibr17-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00218156"},{"key":"bibr18-039139880703000210","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00348-003-0693-y"},{"key":"bibr19-039139880703000210","unstructured":"KaminskyR., RossiM., MorbiducciU., ScaliseL., CastelliniP., KallweitS., VerdonckP., GrigioniM. 3D PIV measurement of prosthetic heart valves fluid dynamics.
