ABSTRACT
Background: There are controversy in-hospital and long-term outcomes of women who undergo percutaneous coronary revascularization, showing a numerous adverse conditions to poor results.
Objective: This study analyzes in-hospital and long-term outcomes among women and men underwent contemporary percutaneous coronary revascularization procedures in our department.
Methods: From February 1995 through February 1999 we analyzed retrospectively consecutive 1,027 patients underwent percutaneous coronary revascularization procedures, 240 (23.4%) women and 787 (76.6%) men.
Results: Conventional angioplasty in 541 patients (132 women and 378 men), and stent implantation in 486 patients (108 women and 378 men) were performed. The women more often had hypertension (58.3% vs 40.2%, p‹ 0.05) and diabetes mellitus (33.8% vs 22.1%, p= 0.04) than men. Clinical success was similar between gender (83.8% women vs 86% men), with in-hospital mortality of 5.8% and 2.4% respectively (p= NS). Follow-up was complete for 95.8% of patients for a mean of 26 months (range 6 to 46 months). Event-free survival was similar (88.1% vs 88.8% p= NS). There was no difference concerning repeated revascularization procedures.
Conclusions: Despite that women had a higher risk profiles, the success rate and mid-term outcomes are similar than men.
