MVR
7,991 males (47.7%) and 8,778 females (52.3%) underwent an elective or
urgent isolated MVR (see table 4). Females were more likely to have an
elective rather than urgent MVR compared to males. Females tended to be
older with higher rates of COPD and diabetes.
Females had shorter cross clamp times and CPB times than males. Males
were more likely than females to have a MV repair rather than a MV
replacement (see supplementary table 2).
