Sex Differences in Referral Timing for Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Prior studies have reported sex-based differences in cardiovascular care, including referral and procedural utilization1–3; however, referral timing for mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) has not been well studied. We evaluated referral timing from diagnosis of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) to structural heart team evaluation among patients who ultimately underwent M-TEER, with a focus on differences between men and women.
