Although sex-based disparities have previously been described in this population, it is unclear if these differences have persisted with the expansion of PE evaluation and treatment approaches. The purpose of this study is to investigate sex-based differences in the evaluation, management, and outcomes of patients with acute PE.METHODSWe performed a retrospective analysis of patients enrolled in the national Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) Consortium database between October 2015 and October 2022. We evaluated patient demographics, clinical characteristics, diagnostic imaging performed, treatment at several phases of care (pre-PERT, PERT recommendations, and post-PERT), and clinical outcomes.RESULTSA total of 5722 patients with acute PE (2838 [49.6%] women) from 35 centers were included. There were no differences in PE risk category between male and female patients. Women were less likely to undergo echocardiography (76.9% vs 73.8%) and more likely to receive no anticoagulation prior to PERT evaluation (35.5% vs 32.9%). PERT teams were more likely to recommend catheter-based interventions for men (26.6% vs 23.1%), and men were more likely to undergo these procedures (21.9% vs 19.3%). In a multivariable analysis, female sex was a predictor of in-hospital mortality (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.06 to 2.21).CONCLUSIONSIn this analysis, we identified sex-based differences in the evaluation and management of patients presenting with acute PE. Subsequently, women presenting with acute PE were at higher risk of in-hospital mortality.","PeriodicalId":23604,"journal":{"name":"Vascular Medicine","volume":"10 1","pages":"1358863X241281872"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Symptomatic patients with PAD and FP lesions ⩾ 10 cm and reference vessel diameters ranging from 4.0 to 7.5 mm were eligible for enrollment.

Safety endpoints encompassed perforation and peripheral embolization. Postprocedural endpoints included freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) and clinical success (an improvement of ⩾ 2 Rutherford category [RC]). In addition, 531 patients treated for popliteal artery stenosis or occlusion without atherectomy were used as a comparator group. <b>Results:</b> Procedural success (residual stenosis < 30% after treatment) was 99.2%. The need for bail-out stenting was 2 (2.7%) and 3 (5.7%) in CFA and popliteal artery lesions, respectively. Only one (1.4%) embolization occurred in the CFA, which was treated by catheter aspiration. No perforations occurred. After 1.50 (IQR = 1.17-2.20) years, CD-TLR occurred in seven (9.2%) and six (14.6%) patients with CFA and popliteal artery lesions, respectively, whereas clinical success was achieved in 62 (91.2%) and 31 (75.6%), respectively. Patients treated with atherectomy and DCB in the popliteal artery after matching for baseline RC, lesion calcification, length, and the presence of chronic total occlusion, exhibited higher freedom from CD-TLR compared to the nondebulking group (HR = 3.1; 95% CI = 1.1-8.5, <i>p</i> = 0.03). <b>Conclusion:</b> Atherectomy can be used safely and is associated with low rates of bail-out stenting in CFA and popliteal arteries. CD-TLR and clinical success rates are clinically acceptable. In addition, for the popliteal artery, atherectomy combined with DCB demonstrates lower CD-TLR rates compared to a DCB alone strategy.
