Total waiting time was divided into \u2018work-up\u2019 waiting time (period from referral date until heart team approval) and, \u2018procedural\u2019 waiting time (period from heart team approval until procedure date). Patients were analysed according to sex. Cohorts were matched to correct for differences in baseline and procedural variables. The primary endpoints were waiting times. Secondary outcomes included a composite of 30-day mortality and HFH, quality of life, and mobility. A total of 407 patients (42% women) were included. After matching of the two cohorts (345 patients), women had significantly longer total waiting times than men: median 156 [interquartile range (IQR) 114\u2013220] days in women vs. 147 [IQR 92\u2013204] days in men (P\u00a0=\u00a00.037) including longer work-up (83 [IQR 50\u2013128] vs. 71 [IQR 36\u2013119], P\u00a0=\u00a00.15) and procedural waiting times (65 [IQR 44\u2013100] vs. 58 [IQR 30\u201393], P\u00a0=\u00a00.042). Increasing waiting times were associated with higher 30-day mortality and HFH (P\u00a0=\u00a00.01 for work-up waiting time, P\u00a0=\u00a00.02 for procedural waiting time) and decreased 30-day
