Fig 2 Late survival estimates after aortic valve replacement for all patients (including operative deaths [solid circles]) and for operative survivors (open circles). The numbers of patients at risk at 1, 5, and 8 years are indicated.

Fig 3 Impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) on late survival after aortic valve replacement in patients less than 60 years of age (p < 0.001). The numbers of patients at risk at 1, 5, and 8 years are indicated. (Solid circles = PPM 0.75 cm2/m2 or greater; open circles = PPM less than 0.75 cm2/m2.)

Fig 4 Impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) on late survival after aortic valve replacement in patients 60 years of age or more (p = 0.95). The numbers of patients at risk at 1, 5, and 8 years are indicated. (Solid circles = PPM 0.75 cm2/m2 or greater; open circles = PPM less than 0.75 cm2/m2.)

Fig 5 Impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) on late survival after aortic valve replacement in large patients (body surface area greater than 2.1 m2; p > 0.02). The numbers of patients at risk at 1, 5, and 8 years are indicated. (Solid circles = PPM 0.75 cm2/m2 or greater; open circles = PPM less than 0.75 cm2/m2.)

Fig 6 Impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) on late survival after aortic valve replacement in average-size patients (body surface area 1.7 m2 to 2.1 m2; p < 0.001). The numbers of patients at risk at 1, 5, and 8 years are indicated. (Solid circles = PPM 0.75 cm2/m2 or greater; open circles = PPM less than 0.75 cm2/m2.)

Fig 7 Impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) on late survival after aortic valve replacement in small patients (body surface area less than 1.7 m2; p = 0.66). For consistency, the numbers of patients at risk at 1, 5, and 8 years are indicated below the lines for PPM and above the lines for no PPM. (Solid circles = PPM 0.75 cm2/m2 or greater; open circles = PPM less than 0.75 cm2/m2.)
