Small Aortic Annulus: What Valve Should We choose?

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava Surgical aortic valve replacement in a small annulus (<400 mm2) is associated with shorter duration, higher valve deterioration and patient prosthesis mismatch (PPM). They present a negative impact as regards duration and evolution. TAVR might be an option, with superior hemodynamic outcome and lower PPM. Read also: “Patients and Healthcare

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
