Why the study?
Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) is associated with increased mid- and long-term mortality after surgical AVR and transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
What are the methods to prevent prosthesis-patient mismatch in patients undergoing surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement?
What are the methods to prevent prosthesis-patient mismatch in patients undergoing surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement?
This systematic review discusses strategies across both surgical and transcatheter approaches to prevent prosthesis-patient mismatch, a condition associated with increased mortality.
Valve prostheses have played an important role in the past four decades in the management of patients with valvular heart disease. Many of the devices have been used for valve replacement and they have introduced new clinical problems. One of these problems is prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) which is associated with increased mid-and long-term mortality after surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the importance, prevention and feasibility of PPM in AVR and percutaneous-AVR. The articles about PPM published between 2003-2018 were analyzed. The results of surgical and transcatheter methods were discussed together to prevent PPM.
