Pre and post operative assessment of patients undergoing mitral valve replacement and its co-relation with prosthesis patient mismatch

Dr. Ranjana Lanjewar, Dr. Imran Ali Khan

Abstract :

The aim of the study is to find out the effect of prosthesis patient mismatch on clinical outcome after mitral valve replacement. Prosthesis patient mismatch is present when effective orifice area of the inserted valve is too small in relation to body size. Twenty five patients were studied each in PPM group and non PPM group. The mitral prosthesis used in PPM group was 23mm TTK Chitra which had smaller effective orifice area. The peak and mean gradient was higher in PPM group as compared to non PPM group, but the NYHA class improved in both the groups. Thus the present study demonstrated that PPM does not affect the clinical outcomes
