Key result
Women undergoing coronary revascularization face lower acute success and higher complication and mortality rates than men.
Why the study?
Do women have different outcomes compared to men when undergoing coronary angioplasty or surgical revascularization?
Do women have different outcomes compared to men when undergoing coronary angioplasty or surgical revascularization?
This review highlights that women undergoing coronary revascularization face higher procedural risks and mortality than men, partly driven by baseline risk and anatomical differences.

May warrant heightened procedural caution in women; leaves open whether contemporary techniques have narrowed historical gaps.
Philippides et al. (2008) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease requiring revascularization. Female gender (in the context of coronary angioplasty and surgical revascularization) vs. Male gender was evaluated. Women undergoing coronary angioplasty or surgical revascularization have historically experienced lower acute success rates and higher procedural complication and mortality rates compared to men.
