Gender and body surface area do not significantly impact angioplasty outcomes. Women experienced better event-free survival post-angioplasty, even after accounting for body surface area, while men faced higher risks of late death and repeat procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Health Outcomes Research

Background:

  • Coronary angioplasty is a common procedure for treating coronary artery disease.
  • Understanding gender-based differences in angioplasty outcomes is crucial for personalized patient care.
  • Previous studies have yielded conflicting results regarding gender disparities in angioplasty outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of gender and body surface area on early and late outcomes following angioplasty.
  • To compare procedural success, mortality, and long-term event-free survival between men and women undergoing angioplasty.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 5,000 consecutive patients (1,274 women, 3,726 men) undergoing angioplasty.
  • Assessment of baseline demographic and clinical variables, procedural outcomes, and long-term survival (mean follow-up: 4 years).

  • Statistical analysis to compare outcomes between genders, adjusting for body surface area and other relevant factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Women were older and had higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, familial coronary disease, and prior myocardial infarction compared to men.
    • Procedural success rates were similar, but women had higher procedural mortality (1.1% vs. 0.3%).
    • After adjusting for body surface area, women showed no increased risk; they had significantly better event-free survival, while men had higher risks of late death and repeat angioplasty.

    Conclusions:

    • Gender-related differences in baseline characteristics exist for patients undergoing angioplasty.
    • While women had higher procedural mortality, this risk was mitigated when corrected for body surface area.
    • Women demonstrated superior long-term event-free survival after angioplasty compared to men, suggesting a potentially better overall prognosis.
