The Silent Cost of Gender in Mitral Valve Surgery: A Propensity-Score Matched Analysis
Women present at a later stage of the disease and with more complex MV pathology, resulting in lower repair and MIMVS rates and higher perioperative mortality. These disparities are largely attributable to disease morphology rather than sex per se. Earlier referral of women is essential to improve outcomes.
