Fig 1 Comparison between the indexed geometric orifice area (GOA) and effective orifice area (EOA). (PPM = patient-prosthesis mismatch.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2011 91, 692-699DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2010.11.033) Copyright © 2011 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions
Fig 2 Risk-adjusted survival stratified by patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) definition. Adjusted for age, sex, diabetes, preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, and prosthesis type. (CI = confidence interval; EOA = effective orifice area; GOA = geometric orifice area; HR = hazard ratio.)
