Abstrakt: This article, published in the journal Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeon, examines the impact of patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) on long-term survival and reoperation rates after valve replacement surgery. The study included 645 patients who underwent biological aortic valve replacement between 2000 and 2007. The incidence of PPM was determined based on echocardiographic examinations, and patient survival and reoperation status were analyzed during a mean follow-up of 12.5 years. The results showed that severe PPM was associated with impaired survival beyond 10 years, while higher age, arterial hypertension, and diabetes were significantly associated with overall mortality. However, there was no significant link between PPM and the rate of reintervention. [Extracted from the article]
