Abstract: In hydraulic practice, when connecting pipes to pumps, the inlet should be larger than outlet and the speed should be slow. If not, air bubbles would form causing major erosion to distal pipes. In coronary… read more here.

Abstract: Microbubbles (MBs) or cavitation is high‐velocity, echo‐bright findings present during the closing or opening of a mechanical valve (MVP). Cavitation bubble growth or gas emboli are less frequently described. We evaluated the hemodynamic parameters involved… read more here.
