Fig 1 Valve size in mm plotted against age in years at each valve replacement. Each line represents a single patient with the left side of the line representing the age and prosthetic valve size at the time of initial aortic valve replacement (AVR) and the right side of each individual line representing the age and prosthetic valve size at the time of the redo-AVR. The mean valve size increased from 20.2 ± 4.2 mm to 23.2 ± 3.3 mm (median valve size increase of 4 mm).
