Abstract

BACKGOUND: The influence of gender on clinical outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was considerably discrepant in previous studies. We aimed to investigate the impact of gender in our registry. METHODS: The study is a retrospective observational analysis of a prospectively designed cohort (546 consecutive patients treated at the University Hospital Zurich who were enrolled in Swiss TAVI Cohort from May 2008 to April 2014). The Study took place in University Heart Centre at University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. RESULTS: < 0.037). CONCLUSION: After TAVI implantation for severe aortic stenosis, males have a less favorable long-term (one year) mortality outcome than females.
