Does severe predicted prosthesis-patient mismatch affect mortality and rehospitalization after SAVR or TAVR?
Severe predicted prosthesis-patient mismatch is rare but significantly increases the risk of death and rehospitalization after SAVR, while it is absent after TAVR.
EOAi measured by echocardiography results in a higher incidence of PPM following SAVR or TAVR than PPM based on predicted EOAi. Severe PPMP is rare (<1.5%), but is associated with increased all-cause death and rehospitalization after SAVR, whereas it is absent following TAVR.
