Fluid structure interaction analysis of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms

Advanced computational techniques, such as Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), to model Ascending thoracic Aortic Aneurysms (ATAA) may revolutionize the way precise medicine is performed. One major issue in modelling ATAA biomechanics is the need for the stress-free configuration which is unavailable from imaging data. The Zero Pressure Geometry (ZPG) and Prestress Tensor (PT) are the two main approaches to over...

Addressing the Curse of Missing Data in Clinical Contexts

Funding Information: This work was done under the project “CardioFollow.AI: An intelligent system to improve patients’ safety and remote surveillance in follow-up for cardiothoracic surgery”. Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Author(s); Clinical data are essential in the medical domain. However, their heterogeneous nature leads to many data quality problems, notably missing values, which undermine the performance...

Image Analysis System for Early Detection of Cardiothoracic Surgery Wound Alter...

Funding Information: This work is part of a research project funded by Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, which aims to design and implement a post-surgical digital telemonitoring service for cardiothoracic surgery patients. The main goals of the research project are: to study the impact of daily telemonitoring on early diagnosis, to reduce hospital readmissions, and to improve patient safety, during the 30-...

Acknowledgments Funding Information: In 2020, in the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (Fundação Portuguesa para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCT) launched a tender to support Research...

Computational Modelling and Simulation of Fluid Structure Interaction in Aortic...

R. Valente PhD grant 2022.12223.BD. Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors.; Aortic aneurysm is a cardiovascular disease related to the alteration of the aortic tissue. It is an important cause of death in developed countries, especially for older patients. The diagnosis and treatment of such pathology is performed according to guidelines, which suggest surgical or interventional (stenting) procedures for a...

Combined lung-kidney transplantation

A significant dysfunction of another organ is usually considered an absolute contraindication for lung transplantation, unless multiorgan transplantation is indicated and practical, as is the case of combined lung-kidney transplantation. Few cases of combined lung-kidney transplantation have been described in the literature; however, it is known that, in certain cases, it is the only way to offer an opportunity...
