Why the study?
Does prosthesis-patient mismatch increase all-cause and cardiac-related mortality in patients after aortic valve replacement?
Does prosthesis-patient mismatch increase all-cause and cardiac-related mortality in patients after aortic valve replacement?
Prosthesis-patient mismatch after aortic valve replacement is associated with increased long-term all-cause and cardiac mortality, highlighting the need for prevention strategies.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Warrants prevention strategies for prosthesis-patient mismatch in aortic valve replacement; extends meta-analytic evidence on its prognostic impact.
Prosthesis-patient mismatch is associated with an increase in all-cause and cardiac-related mortality over long-term follow-up. We recommend that current efforts to prevent PPM should receive more emphasis and a widespread acceptance to improve long-term survival after AVR.
