Navigate the complexities of patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) in transcatheter aortic valve replacement with Dr Dee Dee Wang, exploring the critical distinctions that will shape 2025 clinical practice.

This comprehensive presentation dissects the three distinct types of PPM, moving beyond traditional definitions to examine the real-world challenges facing interventional cardiologists today. Dr Wang addresses the most misunderstood aspects of TAVR hemodynamics, from surgical valve mislabeling and valve-in-valve underexpansion to the paradoxical relationship between ejection fraction and post-TAVR gradients.

Key insights include understanding why women typically present with higher post-TAVR gradients due to cardiac anatomy and ejection fraction differences, the clinical significance of high flow states versus true valve malfunction, and the critical distinction between echo and catheterization reporting.
