Abstract
Patient Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM) is a problem that can occur after Aortic Valve replacement (AVR) surgery. This can occur when the bioprosthetic or mechanical aortic valve is too small compared to the patient’s original valve. To fix this, doctors can implant a larger prosthesis and utilize different techniques to do so. One method is called the Y-incision technique, which was developed in August 2020. Studies have shown it’s a safe and effective way to enlarge a patient’s native aortic annulus and implant a larger prosthetic aortic valve. This study aims to compare the results of the Y-incision technique to traditional annular enlargement techniques, using hemodynamics and survival as key outcomes.
