Prognostic Value of Sex After Revascularization for Left Main Coronary Disease: Extended PRECOMBAT Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Female subjects have poorer outcomes in left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease compared with male subjects. However, limited information is available on the long-term prognostic impact of sex and sex-treatment interactions in patients with LMCA disease undergoing coronary revascularization.

Objectives

The goal of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of sex and related differential outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in LMCA disease.

Methods

The extended PRECOMBAT (Premier of Randomized Comparison of Bypass Surgery versus Angioplasty Using Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in Patients with Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) trial evaluated the >10-year clinical outcomes in patients with LMC
