Abstract
Purpose of review: The role that sex plays in the incidence and outcomes of PCI related complications is not well understood. The purpose of this review is to highlight the commonly encountered peri-procedural complications and search for any sex differences in the published literature.
Recent findings: Procedure related complications and long-term cardiovascular outcomes remain worse in women. The delayed presentation of women with coronary events and delayed referral for an invasive diagnostic angiogram and subsequent revascularization likely contribute to the worse outcomes. Whether the smaller vessel size, residual Syntax Score, and other biological factors impact periprocedural outcomes is controversial and warrants device and procedure specific research to identify sex differences. Modern day percutaneous revascularization has achieved very high acute procedural success rates and low complication rates with the advent of structured training programs, development of appropriate use criteria and refined devices and technologies in the catheterization laboratory. However, both procedure related complications and long-term cardiovascular outcomes remain worse in women.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to systematically provide expert views on current basic science and clinical advances in the field of atherosclerosis and highlight the most important developments likely to transform the field of cardiovascular prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities to serve as Section Editors who select leading experts from around the world to provide definitive reviews on key topics and papers published in the past year. We also provide supplementary reviews and commentaries from well-known figures in the field. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
