In a PS-matched cohort of 4,066 women with chronic severe CAD:
1️⃣ MACCE was higher after PCI (HR 1.81; 95% CI 1.63–2.01)
2️⃣ All-cause mortality was higher after PCI (HR 1.34; 95% CI 1.16–1.54)
3️⃣ CV readmission (MI, HF, or stroke) was higher after PCI (HR 1.40; 95% CI 1.32–1.49)

Don't miss a presentation by @KevinAnMD on "Trends and Outcomes of Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump & Mechanical Circulatory Support in Cardiogenic Shock Patients undergoing CABG: An STS ACSD Analysis". 🌟 #CardiothoracicSurgery #MedicalResearch
Excited to present our work on CABG graft failure in women in @JACCJournals!
1⃣CABG graft failure is more common in women than men
2⃣Female sex is associated with all-cause death however this is not mediated through graft failure
