Post-TAVI Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch

Post-TAVI Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch

Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) occurs when the effective orifice area (EOA) after valve placement is significantly smaller compared with the patient’s body surface area (BSA), resulting in an increased transprosthetic residual gradient. The presence of PPM, especially in various surgical series, has been associated with long-term adverse clinical events. In relation to transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Small Annulus: Should We Start Choosing the Valve?

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. A small annulus in patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis is a real challenge, since it is associated with post-surgical prosthesis patient mismatch (PPM), which negatively affects prosthesis duration and evolution. TAVR has become a good alternative strategy, with better hemodynamic profile and lower PPM incidence in this group. The present study included 246
