Abstract
We report a single center's 10-year experience with 21 consecutive cases of repeat aortic valve replacement for prosthesis-patient mismatch (P-PM) in which there was no hospital mortality among 12 patients treated for isolate d P-PM. With an overall survival of 92% at a median follow-up of 4.5 years and functional class I symptoms in most survivors (73%), we conclude that r epeat surgery for isolated P-PM has a relatively low mortality and a good i ntermediate-term clinical outcome.
