ABSTRACT: Aim
Evaluate sex differences in procedural net adverse clinical events and long-term outcomes following rotational atherectomy (RA).Methods and results
From August 2010 to 2016, 765 consecutive patients undergoing RA PCI were followed up for a median of 4.7 years. 285 (37%) of subjects were female. Women were older (mean 76?years vs. 72?years; p?ConclusionWomen may be at greater risk of procedural complications following rotational atherectomy. These include periprocedural bleeding episodes and coronary perforation leading to cardiac tamponade. Despite this, the adjusted overall long-term survival free of major adverse cardiac events was similar between males and females.

<h4>Aim</h4>Evaluate sex differences in procedural net adverse clinical events and long-term outcomes following rotational atherectomy (RA).<h4>Methods and results</h4>From August 2010 to 2016, 765 consecutive patients undergoing RA PCI were followed up for a median of 4.7 years. 285 (37%) of subjects were female. Women were older (mean 76 years vs. 72 years; p < .001) and had more urgent procedures (64.6 vs. 47.3%; p < .001). Females received fewer radial procedures (75.1 vs. 85.1%; p < .001) a ...[more]
