Why the study?
Does prosthesis-patient mismatch increase the risk of overall mortality and cardiac events in patients with pure aortic stenosis undergoing aortic valve replacement?
Does prosthesis-patient mismatch increase the risk of overall mortality and cardiac events in patients with pure aortic stenosis undergoing aortic valve replacement?
Prosthesis-patient mismatch is a strong, independent predictor of midterm mortality and cardiac events following aortic valve replacement for pure aortic stenosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support closer post-AVR monitoring in aortic stenosis; leaves open whether PPM mitigation improves outcomes.
Tasca et al. (2006) studied this question.
