058 THE ROLE OF FEMALE SEX IN THE CONTEMPORARY TREATMENT OF THE LEFT MAIN CORONARY ARTERY INSIGHTS FROM THE W-DELTA (WOMEN-DRUG ELUTING STENT FOR LEFT MAIN CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE) REGISTRY
Background The optimal revascularization strategy of women with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes in this cohort treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) utilising drug-eluting stents (DES) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods All consecutive women from the Drug Eluting stent for LefT main coronary Artery disease (DELTA) Registry with ULMCA disease treated by PCI with DES or CABG were analysed. A propensity matching was performed to adjust for baseline differences between the 2 treatment groups. Results In total, 818 women were included: 489 (59.8%) und…
Comparison of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (With Drug-Eluting Stents) Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Women With Severe Narrowing of the Left Main Coronary Artery (from the Women-Drug-Eluting stent for LefT main coronary Artery disease Registry)
Women typically present with coronary artery disease later than men with more unfavorable clinical and anatomic characteristics. It is unknown whether differences exist in women undergoing treatment for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease. Our aim was to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes in women treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). All consecutive women from the Drug-Eluting stent for LefT main coronary Artery disease registry with ULMCA disease were analyzed. A propensity matching was performed to adjust for baseline differences. In total, 817 women were included: 489 (59.8%) unde…
