I just received a GREAT question from Fred about patient prosthesis mismatch. Fred asked me, “Hi Adam – I need an aortic valve replacement and I have been reading about prosthesis mismatch. What, if anything, can I do to avoid this complication?”
To provide Fred an expert answer to his question, I just interviewed Dr. Douglas Johnston, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. During his extraordinary career, Dr. Johnston has performed over 3,000 heart valve operations. Click here to see my interview with Dr. Johnston about Patient Prosthesis Mismatch.
Many thanks to Dr. Doug Johnston for educating our patient community about the patient prosthesis mismatch!
Keep on tickin!
