Impact of prosthesis - Patient mismatch after mitral valve replacement: A multicentre analysis of early outcomes and mid-term survival

Background: Prosthesis - patient mismatch (PPM) is characterised by the effects of inadequate prosthesis size relative to body surface area (BSA). It is uncertain whether PPM after mitral valve replacement impacts upon clinical outcome. This was examined in an Australian population. Methods: From 20...
