Sex Differences in Patients Undergoing Left Main Stem Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Stable Angina: Data From a National Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) for stable angina has steadily increased. Outcomes stratified by sex are inconclusive and limited. We assessed sex-based trends and differences in clinical outcomes among patients with stable angina who received LMCA PCI.

Methods and results

We retrospectively collected data on patients with stable angina who underwent LMCA PCI (2006-2022) from the UK national PCI registry. The primary outcome of interest was inpatient mortality. Secondary outcomes were major bleeding and major cardiovascular and cerebral events. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess adjusted odds ratio for outcome of interest. Of the 24 271 LMCA PCI performed, 5497 (22.7%) were in women. Women were olde
