DESCRIPTION:Transcatheter valve replacement is a revolutionary\, minimally
  invasive alternative to surgery for patients with heart valve disease. Wi
 th over 1.5 million procedures performed worldwide and expectations of a s
 harp increase in the coming years\, there is growing concerns about the ri
 se in adverse events such as coronary obstruction and valve thrombosis. It
  is anticipated that the interaction between the implanted transcatheter h
 eart valve with patient-specific anatomy may give rise to unfavourable hem
 odynamics\, contributing to these adverse events. In this seminar\, we wil
 l explore the role of computational modelling and simulation in improving 
 our mechanistic understanding of these events\, and as a tool to assist cl
 inicians in patient selection and pre-procedural planning\, ultimately imp
 roving patient outcomes.
