Sex-specific aspects on prognosis after aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis: a SWEDEHEART registry study

Open Heart

Objective To compare long-term cardiovascular (CV) outcomes between men and women with aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) by the type of valve implant. In the TAVR cohort, men suffered a higher risk of death (HR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.07 In the bioSAVR cohort, a higher risk of death (HR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.04
