Abstract
Background: Aortic stenosis is a progressive and degenerative disease, which at some stage needs an aortic valve replacement (AVR). Despite an almost equal prevalence of aortic stenosis, female referral to AVR is lower and unexplained, although partly explained in the differences in risk and outcome. The introduction of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) increased the treatment palette of especially of older and high-risk patients. It was suggested that lower female referral would likely change as primary result of TAVR showed survival in women than men.
