No mortality difference despite smaller indexed root dimensions in women with BAV; leaves open sex-specific sizing effects on outcomes.
Are there sex-specific differences in aortic root anatomy and clinical outcomes in patients with bicuspid aortic valve undergoing TAVR?
Despite having smaller indexed aortic root dimensions, women with bicuspid aortic valve undergoing TAVR have similar 30-day and 1-year mortality compared to men.
