Women experienced better long-term survival following TAVI compared to men, with the most pronounced survival benefit observed at three years post-procedure.
Does female sex improve long-term survival following TAVI in patients with aortic stenosis compared to male sex?
Women undergoing TAVI for aortic stenosis demonstrate better long-term survival than men, particularly at 3 years, despite presenting at an older age with a higher burden of hypertensive heart disease.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%

Women had better long-term survival following TAVI, with the most pronounced survival benefit observed at 3 years.
