Key result
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement outcomes show conflicting sex-based differences, with some studies reporting higher bleeding and mortality in women and others showing improved survival.
Why the study?
Does female sex impact outcomes such as bleeding, vascular complications, and survival in patients undergoing TAVR for severe aortic stenosis?
