Abstract

Introduction: The prognostic value sex difference demonstrated in cardiovascular diseases. In present study, we evaluated the prognostic value of sex difference in patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI). Material and Methods: Totally, 130 patients who underwent TAVI between January 2016 and December 2018 included retrospectively. Median follow-up time was 324 (IQR 226) days. Demographic characteristic of patients recorded from hospital record system and patients’ fields. Primary outcome was all cause mortality during follow-up. Results: Mean age of study population was 77.1 ± 7.8 years and female gender was significantly older than male gender. There was no significant difference between groups in term of demographic and laboratory parameters except smoker rate and mean haemoglobin level. During follow-up totally 34 (%26.2) patients were died (male 34.5%, female 20.0%; p= 0.062) and there was no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: In our single-center retrospective study, we showed that there was no significant difference in gender difference in all-cause mortality during short-term follow-up after TAVI.
