1. Introduction Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most common types of valvular heart disease (VHD) in the elderly population and is associated with heart failure. AS shares hemodynamical complexities with other types of stenosis, such as in the carotid artery, where different pulsatile inlet profiles can significantly affect blood flow properties [1]. Aortic valve (AV) stenosis has three different etiologies: congenital, rheumatic, and calcific, in which calcification plays a dominant role [2,3].
