Gender-related differences in patients undergoing mechanical aortic valve replacement with the CarboMedics valve.

Abstract

Gender per se is an independent risk factor of survival after mechanical aortic valve replacement.

Severely impaired LVEF independently predicts survival in males whereas additional CABG and redo surgery do in females.

Age affects survival in both sexes.

These findings may serve as a basis for further improving gender related outcome.
