• #### Computational modeling of open-irrigated electrodes for radiofrequency cardiac ablation including blood motion-saline flow interaction ﻿

(PLoS One, 2016)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a routine treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. During RFCA, the electrode-tissue interface temperature should be kept below 80°C to avoid thrombus formation. Open-irrigated electrodes ...
• #### Computational Model for Prediction of the Occurrence of Steam Pops during Irrigated Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation ﻿

(Computing in Cardiology 43, 2016)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a curative treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. Although globally a pretty safe procedure, it may present some risk. Steam pop is a serious complication that can occur during RFCA ...
• #### Effect of Tissue Elasticity in Cardiac Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation Models ﻿

(2018)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective treatment for different types of cardiac arrhythmias. However, major complications can occur, including thrombus formation and steam pops. We present a full 3D ...
• #### A computational model of open-irrigated radiofrequency catheter ablation accounting for mechanical properties of the cardiac tissue ﻿

(2018)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. Although generally safe, it is not completely exempt from the risk of complications. The great flexibility of computational models ...

(IMA J. Num. Analysis 38 (4), 2018-10-16)
This article studies optimized Schwarz methods for the Stokes–Darcy problem. Robin transmission conditions are introduced, and the coupled problem is reduced to a suitable interface system that can be solved using Krylov ...
• #### An introduction to mathematical and numerical modeling in heart electrophysiology ﻿

(2016)
The electrical activation of the heart is the biological process that regulates the contraction of the cardiac muscle, allowing it to pump blood to the whole body. In physiological conditions, the pacemaker cells of the ...

(Numerical Methods for PDEs, 2018-10-13)
This chapter studies the effect of the quadrature on the isogeometric analysis of the wave propagation and structural vibration problems. The dispersion error of the isogeometric elements is minimized by optimally blending ...
