Sex difference in long-term clinical outcome after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation

Abstract

No sex difference was observed in acute and 6-month outcome after SES implantation despite older age, more unstable clinical presentation, and more frequent small vessel stenting in women. However, long-term clinical follow-up (up to 5 years) in women showed higher symptom recurrence and target vessel revascularization rate but no difference in overall major adverse cardiac events.

Gender differences in acute and 30‐day outcomes after orbital atherectomy treatment of de novo, severely calcified coronary lesions

“…According to the American Heart Association, approximately onethird of the percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) performed in the US in 2010 were on women . While early PCI studies reported higher early mortality in women , many contemporary studies found no difference between genders in terms of in‐hospital and/or 30‐day mortality . However, several PCI studies have reported significantly higher mortality in women .…”
