Association between gender and outcomes of lower extremity peripheral vascular interventions

Abstract

Whereas we observed higher rates of access site complications including hematoma and occlusion in women, we found no other evidence for gender disparity in reinterventions, major amputation, or survival rates after PVI for patients with claudication or CLI.

Contemporary cardiovascular risk and secondary preventive drug treatment patterns in peripheral artery disease patients undergoing revascularization

“…Allcause mortality was in line with other similar recent surveys, and a diagnosis of IC was associated with improved overall survival compared with CLI (12-month mortality of 3% vs 20%; Fig 1). 23 Strikingly, our reported mortality data were also similar to a previous Swedish study preformed in 1970 to 1994. 24 By contrast, coronary heart disease mortality in Sweden decreased by 67.4% in men and 65.1% in women between 1987 and 2009.…”

Gender disparities among patients with peripheral arterial disease treated via endovascular approach: A propensity score matched analysis

“…Although there was no difference in length of stay, the median hospitalization cost was higher in males. These findings are contrary to previously published data, which suggested higher complications and mortality in females with PAD compared to males, although those studies had very small sample sizes . Our study reports data from a nationally representative sample with a significantly larger sample size.…”

“…Women with PAD are more likely to be treated on the emergent basis . Women have higher mortality than men during management . However, these studies had small sample size.…”

“…Some studies have also shown that women are more likely to have amputations than men . Previously, few studies on endovascular interventions for the management of peripheral vascular diseases have shown that women are more likely to have access site complications when compared to men . Women with PAD are more likely to be treated on the emergent basis .…”

Peripheral Vascular Disease in Women: Therapeutic Options in 2019

“…There was no significant difference in death, major or minor complications between women and men [59]. In an observational study, Ferranti et al found no sex disparity in common femoral artery endarterectomy or arterial segment interventional treatment (Aortoiliac, Superficial femoral artery popliteal bypass, Infrapopliteal, Multiple grafts) [60]. With regard to infrainguinal disease, there are multiple conflicting results.…”
