Initial results and long-term clinical and angiographic outcome of coronary stenting in women

Am J Cardiol. 2000 Dec 15;86(12):1380-3, A5. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(00)01249-2.

Abstract

To assess whether gender influences the results of coronary stenting, 158 consecutive women undergoing coronary stenting were compared with 823 consecutive men. Women had more adverse baseline characteristics, a higher hospital mortality, and were independently associated with procedural failure/complications (relative risk 2.4, 95% confidence interval 1.2 to 4.8); however, the long-term event-free survival and the restenosis rate were not influenced by gender.
