Background: Prosthesis–patient mismatch (PPM) after surgical aortic valve replacement
(AVR) for aortic stenosis is generally associated with worse outcomes. Transcatheter AVR …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate early results of valve-in-valve (ViV)
transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus redo surgical aortic valve replacement …

Objectives This study aimed to compare incidence and impact of measured prosthesis-
patient mismatch (PPMM) versus predicted PPM (PPMP) after surgical aortic valve …

Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) occurs when the effective orifice area (EOA) of the
prosthetic valve is too small in relation to a patient's body size, thus resulting in high residual …

Background Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) is common following surgical aortic valve
replacement (SAVR). Objectives The purpose of this study was to quantify the impact of PPM …
