Fig 1 Kaplan-Meier survival estimates for patients with and without patient prosthesis mismatch. (No patient prosthesis mismatch = aortic valve area index > 0.85 cm2/m2; mild patient prosthesis mismatch = aortic valve area index ≤ 0.85 cm2/m2 and > 0.65 cm2/m2; severe patient prosthesis mismatch = aortic valve area index ≤ 0.65 cm2/m2.)
