Although more common in women, SSc appears as strikingly more severe in men. Our results obtained through the largest worldwide database demonstrate a higher risk of severe cardiovascular involvement in men. These results raise the point of including sex in the management and the decision-making process.

Bosentan may be a safe long-term alternative for treating the recurrence of skin ulcers and healed ulcers in SSc patients.

The use of BVS in comparison with the Synergy stent in a similar lesional setting is associated with a higher use of resources in the procedure, more radiation, and higher TnI release. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
