Mitral Regurgitation (MR) is an alteration of normal mitral valve (MV) function that leads to mitral insufficiency. Undersized Mitral Annuloplasty (MA) is the preferred surgical treatment for chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation. However, the preferred shape…
Current clinical intervention criteria for ascending thoracic aneurysms (ATAAs) are based on the maximum diameter value, however rupture may occur even at smaller dilatation levels. Moreover, the presence of the bicuspid aortic valve complication (BAV)…
Ascending thoracic aorta aneurysms (aTAA) represent a severe threatening condition in the modern clinical landscape. The risk of aTAA rupture is usually higher in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) with respect to tricuspid valve…
In this paper, a methodology that aims at evaluating the effectiveness of different TES strategies is presented. The methodology takes into account the specific material of interest in the monitored scenario, sensor characteristics, and errors…
We propose in this paper novel cooperative distributed MPC algorithms for tracking of piecewise constant setpoints in linear discrete-time systems. The available literature for cooperative tracking requires that each local controller uses the centralized state…
