Objective/Background Small balloon expandable valves have higher echocardiographic transvalvular gradients and rates of prosthesis‐patient mismatch (PPM) compared to larger valves. However, the impact of these echocardiographic findings on clinical outcomes is unknown. We sought to determine the cli...
