Sex-Based Differences in Periprocedural Complications Following Lower Extremity Peripheral Vascular Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women with coronary artery disease are shown to have worse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention compared with men; however, less is known about sex-based outcomes following lower extremity peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) for symptomatic peripheral artery disease. The study aims to assess whether female sex is independently associated with periprocedural complications in patients undergoing PVI.

Methods

Analysis includes patients undergoing lower extremity PVI from September 2016 to March 2020 from the Vascular Quality Initiative registry. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the independent association of female sex with post-PVI complications.

Results

Of the 119 620 patients included, 47 316 (39.6%) were women. Analysis r
