Preventing prosthesis-patient mismatch during aortic valve replacement through accurate imaging and valve sizing is critical to optimizing survival and preserving future reintervention options.
Accurate preoperative imaging and valve sizing are critical to prevent prosthesis-patient mismatch during AVR, optimizing survival and future reintervention options.
PPM remains a common and clinically consequential complication of AVR that compromises long-term outcomes. It is largely preventable through accurate preoperative imaging, valve sizing, and consideration of annular enlargement. Optimal outcomes require matching valve characteristics to individual patient anatomy and physiology. In an era of expanding TAVR use, preventing PPM during the index procedure is critical to optimizing survival and preserving future reintervention options.
Talapaneni et al. (Mon,) conducted a review in Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch Following Aortic Valve Replacement. Aortic Valve Replacement was evaluated.
