Abstract
Abstract We present a novel approach to simulate deformation in aortic valve replacement scenarios with applications in operation planning and batch domain creation for large computational fluid dynamics studies of the aortic arch.

Summary
Aortic valve replacement (AVR) aims to restore normal function of the diseased aortic valve. During AVR, the aortic valve annulus is deformed by and fitted to a rigid ring of the biological or mechanical aortic valve prosthesis. The device implant replaces the function of the biological aortic valve. To analyze possible outcomes before the physical implantation, computer simulations have to be conducted and the resulting deformation as well as blood flow have to be predicted approximately. This requires a huge number of simulations in individually deformed aorta representations. A volumetric mesh triangulation based on a deformed representation of the aorta and the device implant has to be created
