This study evaluates the fluid dynamics inside and outside transcatheter blood pump positioned in the aorta. We focus on the pump's impact on blood component damage and arterial wall stress. CFD simulations were performed for rotational speeds ranging from 6000 to 15000 rpm, with a blood flow rate of 1.6 L/min. Results show that significant blood dama ...
