Background and objectives : The aims of this study were to investigate changes in the hemodynamics associated with different types of aortic prostheses and to evaluate patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) at rest and after exercise. Materials and Methods : We retrospectively analyzed 150 patients who presented with indications for aortic valve replace...

Severe mitral annular calcification (MAC) may represent a challenging issue which can lead to poor outcomes and serious issues such as patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM). The potential harmful effect of PPM must be prevented through the use of alternative techniques that allow mitral valve replacement with adequately sized bioprostheses in patients ...
To evaluate the incidence, predictors and outcomes of female patients with patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) following transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis (AS). Female AS TAVI recipients have a significantly lower mortality than surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) recipients, which could be attributed to t...

This case presents a patient who underwent aortic valve replacement and presented 13 years later with high gradients across the prosthesis, mitral insufficiency, and severe systemic hypertension. Her preoperative workup led to the diagnosis of an interrupted aortic arch Type A. Her surgical management included an initial procedure to repair the int...

Patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) has been shown to be associated with adverse outcomes after surgical aortic valve replacement. There is limited data on its risk and impact after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), especially with the newer generation heart valves. The objective of this study is to investigate the incidence, predictors,...

This study aimed to assess the predictors of patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using preoperative computed tomography. We enrolled 323 patients undergoing SAVR (n = 85) or TAVR (n = 238) for aortic stenosis. The end point was any degree of PPM (effective...

The mains topics of this work are the incidence of patient-prosthesis mismatch and the influence in the early results of isolated aortic valve surgery. In 193 patients isolated aortic valve surgery was performed. The study population was divided in three subgroups: 20 patients with severe, 131 patients with moderate and 42 patients without patient-...
