摘要
Objective To determine whether the prosthesis-patient mismatch has a deleterious impact on survival after mitral valve replacement.Data sources A comprehensive literature search of PubMed,Embase,and ScienceDirect was carried out.References and cited papers of relevant articles were also checked.Study selection All articles published after January 1980 was initially considered.Non-English and non-human studies,case reports,and reviews were excluded from the initial search.References and cited papers of relevant articles were also checked.Results A total of 8 retrospective cohort studies were identified for this review.The overall incidence of prosthesis-patient mismatch （〈1.3 to 〈1.2 cm2/m2） after mitral valve replacement ranged from 3.7% to 85.9% （moderate prosthesis-patient mismatch （0.9 to 1.2 cm2/m2） in 37.4% to 69.5%,severe prosthesis-patient mismatch （〈0.9 cm2/m2） in 8.7% to 16.4%）.Four studies demonstrated an association of prosthesis-patient mismatch with reduced long-term survival,but the other four studies found no significant deleterious impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch after mitral valve replacement.No definite conclusion could be derived from these conflicting results.Conclusions Current evidence is insufficient to derive a definite conclusion whether mitral prosthesis-patient mismatch affects long-term survival because of the biases and confounding factors that interfere with late clinical outcomes.Good-quality prospective studies are warranted to evaluate the impact of mitral prosthesis-patient mismatch after mitral valve replacement in the future.
