Prosthesis–Patient Mismatch After Aortic Valve Replacement: Effect on Long-Term Survival [1]
The authors used a single institution data base to assess very long-term outcomes after AVR to determine the effects of prosthesis-patient mismatch. Among 673 pts, 24% had mismatch. Mean follow-up was nearly 18 years. On multivariable analysis, mismatch was not a significant determinant of long-term survival.
