Aortic valve stenosis represents an important public health problem which can be treated through transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Abstract
Aortic valve stenosis represents an important public health problem which can be treated through transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Being a quite recent technology, many aspects related to such a minimallyinvasive procedure need further investigation (e.g., paravalvular leakage). The well-established finite element method represents a possible technology to study such aspects within a virtual computer-based framework. Herein, we propose a patient-specific study which includes native leaflets and calcifications with the goal of evaluating the postoperative performance of the implanted prosthetic valveFile in questo prodotto:
