Article Synopsis
- Women experience higher adverse events after mitral valve surgery, prompting a study to compare outcomes of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair by sex.
- The study analyzed data from 5,295 patients who underwent the procedure, finding that women were less likely to have multiple clips implanted and had lower device success rates.
- At one year, there was no difference in major adverse events between sexes, but females had a lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to males.
