Abstract

The evaluation of a heart prosthetic valve with echocardiography is demanding at all stages of the process. Prosthesic-patient mismatch is present when the effective orifice area (EOA) of the inserted prosthetic valve is too small in relation to patient´s size, resulting in abnormal high postoperative gradients and adverse clinical results. This phenomenon can be documented quickly by the calculation of EOA by echocardiography. In this article we display the essential way that we must follow to detect prosthestic-patient mismatch.
