Fig 1. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) preoperatively (PREOP) and 8 months after (POSTOP) aortic valve replacement. The homograft and freestyle valves expressed the maximum LVMI reduction. This is evident in all cases (A) and in patients with a preoperative LVMI of 180 g/m2 or less (B). In patients with a preoperative LVMI of 180 g/m2 or more (C) the homograft treatment achieved the best results. (I = intact; H = homografts; T = Toronto; F = freestyle; C = controls).
