This nationwide analysis showed an increase in the proportion of women among patients undergoing TS-TMVR during the study years. There were no differences in in-hospital mortality, in-hospital complications, or length of stay between both sexes following TS-TMVR. Women were more likely to be discharged to nursing facilities and had higher rates of readmission at 30 days even after propensity matching.
