摘要：

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women. Early reports of the results of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in women1,2 suggested increased procedural risks compared with those in men, which may have, in part, led to a reluctance to offer revascularization procedures to women with coronary heart disease.3 More recent experiences indicate that the intrinsic risk of both CABG and PTCA in women may be no greater than in men.4,5 To further evaluate the risk and results of PTCA in women compared with in men, we examined the influence of gender on the procedural results in a large cohort of patients treated with PTCA. © 1992.
