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).
