Abstract The results of this study indicates that the early in-hospital and I-year outcome for women with CAD undergoing coronary artery stenting is similar to that for male patients. Despite the similarity in outcome, there are several sexspecific differences in baseline characteristics and clinical course after the intervention that may aid in clinical decision making and help to further reduce the risk and improve the outcomes of coronary interventions in women. The post-interventional outcome in women depends primarily on relatively modifiable risk factors such as diabetes, obesity and hypercholesterolemia. Women with such risk factors will get a better outcome after coronary intervention by proper controlling of these factors. It is recommended that modification of such risk factors should be applied to every patient prepared for PCI, especially for diabetes, smoking and dyslipidemia as it may improve outcome of PCI. |
