With the rising utilization of endovascular interventions for the treatment of PAD, we sought to perform a review of sex-based outcomes of peripheral endovascular interventions for the treatment of symptomatic PAD.

Eligibility criteria included studies focusing on adult females with lifestyle-limiting </span>claudication<span><span> or chronic limb-threatening ischemia who underwent endovascular intervention. Various endovascular procedures were considered and outcomes of interest included mortality, amputations, reinterventions, bleeding complications, and major adverse cardiac events. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Sixteen studies were included in the review. Females patients undergoing endovascular interventions were associated with bleeding complications, higher rates of reintervention, and a risk of nonfatal strokes. However, females sex was not linked to higher rates of amputation or conclusively higher mortality rates post intervention. The comprehensive scoping review reveals important sex-related </span>disparities in outcomes after endovascular procedures for symptomatic PAD.
