Sex based analysis of the impact of red blood cell transfusion and vascular or bleeding complications related to TAVI - The TRITAVI-Women Study.

Women present specific risks for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) but there are scarce sex-based analysis. The aim of this study was to explore the risk of vascular/bleeding complications in females vs. males that underwent TAVI and the impact of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion.
