Cardiovascular Implant Durability Conference
OCTOBER 13-15, 2025
Join us on the beautiful Monterey Coast at the Asilomar Conference Center for a unique and defining three-day conference focused on understanding, predicting, and optimizing the durability of cardiovascular implants.
This event is intended to link anatomic and physiological conditions to implant design and the engineering mechanics of fracture. CVID brings together leading experts in medicine, biomechanics, computational analysis, and engineering testing from the medical device industry, academia, physicians, and regulatory agencies.
Day One: Boundary Conditions
The first day will cover medical imaging and quantification tools used to characterize the dynamic structural and fluid domains of the cardiovascular system, and to summarize current knowledge of important vascular beds including structural heart, aortic, arterial, venous, and neurovascular. These boundary conditions are critical for design, durability optimization, and strategic/investment/regulatory decisions.
Day Two: Simulation & Design
The second day will focus on the translation of in vivo forces and displacements to the stresses and strains used to predict, design for, and optimize implant durability. Finite Element Analysis will be emphasized with examples of how it can be used effectively and misused. We will also discuss state-of-the-art improvements in modeling techniques, verification and validation, and complementing/supplementing in vitro and in vivo data.
Day Three: Experimental Mechanics
The final day will turn to experimental mechanics and how device lifetime can be predicted and supported with empirical data. Assessing fatigue and durability and the role of raw materials, manufacturing processes, production variance, and statistical predictions will be discussed. Current benchtop testing, metrology, validation methods, and emerging technologies and applications will be presented.
Panel Discussions: Provocative panel discussions will provide perspectives from industry, regulatory agencies, service providers, and physicians.
Attendees, Sponsors, and Exhibitors: This conference is ideal for engineers and clinicians interested in cardiovascular implant design and durability. With renowned engineering and physician speakers from industry, academia, and regulatory agencies, this conference will provide an up-to-date review of the field. Uniquely, CVID is sponsored by medical device companies, with exhibits by equipment manufacturers, as well as preclinical, clinical, simulation, and benchtop testing service companies.
