Patient Prosthesis Mismatch After SAVR and TAVR
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) remains one out of many factors to be considered during decision-making for the treatment of aortic valve pathologies. The idea of adequate sizing of a prosthetic heart valve was established by Rahimtoola already in 1978.
