Why the study?
Does female sex worsen in-hospital mortality following surgical aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis compared to male sex?
Does female sex worsen in-hospital mortality following surgical aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis compared to male sex?
Women experience worse in-hospital mortality following surgical aortic valve replacement compared to men, suggesting transcatheter AVR might be preferable for women.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Female sex was associated with higher AVR in-hospital mortality; leaves open whether this supports sex-specific valve selection pending randomized data.
Chaker et al. (2017) studied this question.
