Sex-Specific Differences in Outcome of Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement
ConclusionsThis nation-wide analysis of sex-specific outcomes after aortic-valve replacement procedures showed that women are higher-risk for bleeding, but lower-risk for stroke, mechanical ventilation, and TF-TAVR mortality. Understanding these differences and their basis may help improve outcomes.RésuméContexteLes différences anatomiques et celles au niveau des caractéristiques initiales entre patients de sexe masculin et féminin présentant une sténose valvulaire aortique pourraient influencer l’issue après un remplacement valvulaire aortique par voie chirurgicale et transcathéter. Nous avons évalué l’effe...

Sex-specific differences in outcome of transcatheter or surgical aortic valve replacement
Conclusions This nation-wide analysis of sex-specific outcomes after aortic-valve replacement procedures showed that women are higher-risk for bleeding, but lower-risk for stroke, mechanical ventilation, and TF-TAVR mortality. Understanding these differences and their basis may help improve outcomes. Teaser We analyzed baseline characteristics and outcomes of all isolated TAVR or SAVR procedures performed in Germany between 2011 and 2014. In comparison to male patients, females were preferentially treated with TF-TAVR rather than SAVR due to their generally older age and higher EuroSCORE. Females suffered from more relevan...
