Similar vessel features and outcomes across genders do not support differential device allocation; this cohort study leaves open potential selection bias in revascularization.
Are there gender differences in angiographic parameters and outcomes among patients undergoing percutaneous interventional therapy for coronary artery disease?

Bergelson et al. (1996) studied this question.
