The concept of PPM-or placing a valve that is too small for the cardiac output requirements of the patient-has been associated with worse patient outcomes, including increased risk of death. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the standard treatment for most patients with severe symptomatic AS and is associated with improved hemodynamics and lower risks of PPM. Larger surgical valves, stentless, and sutureless technology, and surgical aortic annulus enlargement (AAE) have been employed to avoid severe PPM. However, especially in the small aortic annulus (SAA), TAVR may provide a benefit. Understanding who is at risk for PPM requires preplanning, and cardiac-gated computed tomography (CT) imaging is the standard of care when considering TAVR. It should be standard for all patients with AS. Once SAA is identified, the risk of PPM can be calculated, and an informed decision made on whether to proceed with SAVR or TAVR. In the current TAVR era, younger patients are treated with TAVR driven by patient preference, but with little long-term data to support the practice. Selecting the best valve for the patient is a multifactorial decision often nuanced by anatomical considerations, hemodynamic and durability expectations, and decisions regarding lifetime management that may include placing a second valve. Although PPM may be only one of the factors to consider, the association with elevated mean gradients and worse outcomes certainly makes TAVR a good solution for many patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":8067,"journal":{"name":"Annals of cardiothoracic surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11148752/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141261023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He described the perfect prosthesis-patient match as a \"prosthetic valve with a functioning opening area that matches the patient's normal functioning valve.\" This manuscript revisits the forty-six-year journey in pursuit of that perfect match. We address the essential components for the perfect match, such as the usefulness of the current valve sizing techniques using the manufacturer's labeled valve size (MLVS) and sizer, the accuracy of an objective parameter to define the perfect match, and the need and safety to enlarge the patient's annulus and root to accommodate the proper size valve. A thorough literature search was performed using the University of Michigan Medical Library search engine. The population included patients who underwent SAVR. Three individual searches were conducted: (I) valve size and sizing techniques; (II) hemodynamic performance (HP) and prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM); and (III) aortic root enlargement (ARE) procedures. Excluded were articles not in English, articles that involved animal research, duplicate articles, articles involving valve repair, allograft or autograft replacement, and articles specific to aortic sizing and congenital heart surgery. The emphasis was placed on randomized prospective trials, large registry trials with and without propensity matching, and meta-analysis articles. We discovered that the manufacturer-labeled valve size and sizing technique does not accurately represent the functional opening area of the valve. A pre-operative multidetector computed tomography (CT) scan is an accurate and reproducible method for measuring patient root and annulus dimensions and should be used for pre-operative valve sizing for SAVR. Matching the CT area derived aortic diameter with the true functional diameter of the opening of the prosthetic valve will yield the best prosthesis-patient match. ARE is safe and should be used to attain the best match.</p>","PeriodicalId":8067,"journal":{"name":"Annals of cardiothoracic surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11148764/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141261032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
