Patient Prothesis Mismatch: How to Avoid It?

https://www.HeartValveSurgery.com - Patient Prosthesis Mismatch can be a serious, debilitating and dangerous complication following heart valve replacement surgery for conditions including aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation. As a result, patients often wonder how they can avoid patient prosthesis mismatch. For example, Fred recently asked us, “I need an aortic valve replacement and I have been reading about prosthesis mismatch. What, if anything, can I do to avoid this complication?” To answer this and other important questions about patient prosthesis mismatch for both mechanical and tissue heart valves (made from cow and pig tissue), we met with Dr. Doug Johnston, the Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. In this video, Dr. Johnston addresses many important points about patient prosthesis mismatch for heart valve patients including: 1. What is patient prothesis mismatch (PPM)? 2. What complications and health risks can patient prosthesis mismatch cause? 3. What impact can patient prosthesis mismatch have for patients needing a second heart valve replacement operation? 4. Can patients with patient prosthesis mismatch have issues with transcatheter valve-in-valve reoperations? 5. How can patient prosthesis mismatch impact the patient's aortic root?
