Our study is the first of its kind to specify predictors of poor outcomes after EI in female patients with symptomatic PAD. The strongest predictors of subsequent EI and TVR, limb loss, and vascular surgery, as well as death, were found to be chronic kidney disease (CKD; PRE-CR > 1.5 mg/dL), decreased BMI, Rutherford class, and anemia.

Our study is the first of its kind to specify predictors of mortality in female patients with symptomatic PAD. This study also provides a tool to identify female PAD patients at high risk for death after EI. Finally, it highlights the effect of CKD, age, and CHF on mortality of patients with PAD.
