Scatterplot demonstrating the association between aortic root diameter and EOA/BSA separately for mechanical and biological valve grafts.

<p>By the use of mechanical prostheses, PPM is avoided to a larger extent when compared with bioprostheses. Crosses give values for mechanical prostheses and circles for biological prostheses. Bold lines show the regression lines separately for mechanical (dashed line) and biological prostheses (solid line). Horizontal lines show the mean values of EOA/BSA, separately for mechanical (dashed line) and biological prostheses (solid line). Vertical lines show the mean values of the aortic root diameter, separately for mechanical (dashed line) and biological prostheses (solid line).</p
