Multicenter StudyMultidetector CT predictors of prosthesis-patient mismatch in transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) is a predictor of mortality after aortic valve replacement (AVR). ⋯ PPM is frequent after TAVR. Appropriate annular oversizing does not reduce the rate or severity of PPM. Patient annulus size mismatch, identified by indexed MDCT annular area, is a significant predictor of PPM.
