A, Comparison between preoperative predicted EOA and EOAI based on in vitro value published by the manufacturer and in vivo value measured postoperatively. B, Comparison between preoperative predicted EOA and EOAI in patients receiving size 25 and 27 prostheses. EOA, Effective orifice area; EOAI, indexed effective orifice area.
