Key result
Study reports no quantitative results on sex differences in M-TEER referral timing for severe MR.
Why the study?
Sex-based differences occur in cardiovascular care, but referral timing for mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair has not been well studied.
Does sex influence referral timing from diagnosis of severe mitral regurgitation to structural heart team evaluation among patients undergoing M-TEER?

Does sex influence referral timing from diagnosis of severe mitral regurgitation to structural heart team evaluation among patients undergoing M-TEER?
Absence of quantitative results on sex differences in M-TEER referral timing leaves open questions of disparity; detailed analyses required.
Prior studies have reported sex-based differences in cardiovascular care, including referral and procedural utilization1–3; however, referral timing for mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) has not been well studied. We evaluated referral timing from diagnosis of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) to structural heart team evaluation among patients who ultimately underwent M-TEER, with a focus on differences between men and women.

Erdem et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Severe mitral regurgitation. Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Referral timing from diagnosis of severe MR to structural heart team evaluation. The abstract describes a study evaluating sex differences in referral timing for M-TEER but does not report any quantitative results.
