Abstract
Our computational model showed a reliable ability to provide and predict various local tissue stresses created by suture penetration into the myocardium. In addition, this model contributed to providing valuable information useful to design less traumatic sutures for LVAD implantation. Therefore, our computational model is a promising tool to predict and optimize LVAD myocardial suture.
