Abstract
The incidence and significance of prosthesis-patient mismatch differs in patients with aortic insufficiency compared with those with aortic stenosis or mixed disease. In patients with aortic insufficiency, prosthesis-patient mismatch is seen less frequently and has no significant effect on survival and freedom from heart failure but might have a negative effect on left ventricular mass regression.
