welcomes you to the new, improved website!In an analysis of 1,826 patients randomized to surgical aortic valve replacement in the three Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves (PARTNER) trials, patient-prosthesis mismatch was assessed using transthoracic echocardiography and by the normal reference value for each size and model of implanted valve. Compared with transthoracic echocardiography (21.6 percent), reference values underestimated the incidence of severe patient-prosthesis mismatch (2.1 percent), which was associated with worse all-cause mortality and heart failure rehospitalizations at the two year follow-up.
