Abstract
Currently, gender is not considered in the choice of the revascularization strategy for patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease. This study analyzed the effect of gender on the outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with ULMCA disease. Females who had PCI (n = 328) were compared with females who had CABG (n = 132) and PCI in males (n = 894) was compared with CABG (n = 784). Females with CABG had higher overall hospital mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) than females with PCI. Male patients with CABG had higher MACE; however, mortality did not differ between males with CABG vs PCI. In female patients, follow-up mortality was significantly higher in CABG patients, and target lesion revascularization was higher in patients with PCI. Male patients had no difference in mortality and MACE between groups; however, MI was higher with CABG, and congestive heart failure was higher with PCI. In conclusion, women with ULMCA disease treated with PCI could have better survival with lower MACE compared with CABG. These differences were not evident in males treated with either CABG or PCI. PCI could be the preferred revascularization strategy in women with ULMCA disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gender-specific outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions were studied by a number of research groups with different endpoints and cohorts of different ethnic extractions. The purpose of this report is to use propensity score matching to determine gender-specific differences in clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions with polymer-free sirolimus-coated stents. MATERIALS AND METHODS The basis for this post hoc analysis was two large all-comers studies with prospectively enrolled patients from Europe and Asia. Data were pooled and analyzed in terms of clinical outcomes to assess the impact of gender in patients with stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome. The primary endpoint was the accumulated target-lesion revascularization rate whereas secondary endpoints consisted of the event rates for major adverse cardiac events (MACE), myocardial infarction, bleeding events and death from all causes. The purpose of these post hoc analyses was to detect potential differences in clinical outcomes between females and males in unselected and propensity-score-matched cohorts. RESULTS Overall, in the unmatched cohorts, accumulated target-lesion revascularization rates did not differ between both genders (2.7% vs. 2.0%; P = 0.101), however, accumulated MACE rates were higher in females than in males (5.2% vs. 3.9%; P = 0.020). After propensity-score-matching, primarily adjusting for age, hypertension and diabetes, our data revealed similar accumulated MACE in women and men (5.5% vs. 5.2%; P = 0.749). In the unmatched STEMI subgroup, all-cause mortality was significantly higher in females driven by older age ( P < 0.001). CONCLUSION In the propensity-score-matched real-world cohorts, female gender was not a predictor for increased rates of accumulated MACE. In the unmatched STEMI subgroup, all-cause mortality was significantly higher in females due to older age. Age seems to be the determining factor for increased clinical event rates and not gender.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent randomized trial reported fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy was noninferior to the intracoronary ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI strategy with respect to clinical outcomes with fewer revascularizations. OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate the sex differences in treatment and clinical outcomes according to physiology- or imaging-guided PCI strategies. METHODS In this secondary analysis of the FLAVOUR (Fractional Flow Reserve or Intravascular Ultrasonography to Guide PCI) trial, the impact of sex on procedural characteristics, PCI rate, and outcomes according to different strategies and treatment types (PCI vs deferral of PCI) was analyzed. The primary outcome was target vessel failure (TVF) at 24 months, defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization. RESULTS Of 1,619 patients, 30% were women. Compared with men, women had a smaller minimal lumen area, smaller plaque burden, and higher FFR. They had a lower PCI rate (40.8% vs 47.9%; P = 0.008), which was mainly contributed by FFR guidance. Overall, women showed a lower TVF rate (2.4% vs 4.5%). According to the treatment type, the cumulative incidence of TVF was lower in women than in men among those with the deferral of PCI (1.7% vs 5.2%). However, this trend was not observed in patients who underwent PCI. In both women and men, there were no differences in clinical outcomes between the FFR- and IVUS-guided strategies. CONCLUSIONS In cases of intermediate stenosis, despite receiving fewer interventions, women had more favorable outcomes than men. The use of FFR led to a lower PCI rate but had a similar prognostic value compared with IVUS in both women and men.

Abstract
The SYNTAX trial randomized patients equally eligible for coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention using the Heart Team approach. The SYNTAXES study achieved a follow-up rate of 93.8% and reported the 10-year vital status. Factors associated with increased mortality at 10 years were pharmacologically treated diabetes mellitus, increased waist circumference, reduced left ventricular function, prior cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease, western Europe and North American descent, current smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, elevated C-reactive protein, anemia, and an increase in HbA1c. Procedural factors associated with higher 10 years mortality include periprocedural myocardial infarction, extensive stenting, small stents, ≥1 heavily calcified lesion, ≥1 bifurcation lesion, residual SYNTAX score >8, and staged percutaneous coronary intervention. Optimal medical therapy at 5 years, use of statins, on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, multiple arterial grafts, and higher physical component score and mental component score were associated with lower mortality at 10 years. Numerous scores and prediction models were developed to help individualize risk assessment. Machine learning has emerged as a novel approach for developing risk models.

Abstract
In this study, we estimate sex differences in care complexity and cost of cardiac-related procedures in order to demonstrate the importance of sex as a risk adjuster in a hospital payment system. We use individual visit-level data for all adult Israelis who underwent either heart valve surgery (HVS) or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) during the period 2014-2018 in publicly funded hospitals. We find that women undergoing a cardiac-related procedure are more likely to die during hospitalization, they have longer hospital stays, and overall, they are more likely to be care-complex than men. Furthermore, the cost of the surgery itself is higher for women than for men in the case of HVS (though not CABG), and the cost of the post-operative hospital stay is higher in the case of CABG (though not HVS). It is concluded that sex differences should be considered in the calculation of payment for cardiac-related procedures in order to reduce incentives for selection and reduce unwarranted variation in cardiac-care utilization and medical practice.

Abstract
Purpose Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common cardiac surgical procedure performed in India. There are fundamental differences between males and females in the incidence and responses of the body to various diseases. These differences are noticeable, more so in conditions relating to cardiovascular health, particularly coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aims to assess the gender differences in the early postoperative outcomes following CABG. Methods Between April 1999 through February 2018, 13,415 patients underwent isolated CABG in our practice. Propensity score matching was performed to yield 1825 well-matched pairs in each gender. These groups were compared in terms of various early postoperative outcomes. Results There were no significant differences between females and males in terms of early postoperative composite outcomes (4.2% vs. 5.2%) (odds ratio (OR) 0.82; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.60-1.12, p = 0.213) of 30-day mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), and need for renal replacement therapy (RRT), 30-day mortality (0.7% vs. 0.7%) (OR 1.11; 95%CI 0.50-2.45, p = 0.796), MI (2.7% vs. 3.1%) (OR 0.93; 95%CI 0.63-1.37, p = 0.708), CVA (0.4% vs. 0.8%) (OR 0.46; 95%CI 0.19-1.14, p = 0.096), and need for RRT (0.7% vs. 0.7%) (OR 0.88; 95%CI 0.40-1.93, p = 0.753). Conclusion Females have similar early postoperative outcomes compared to males in terms of composite outcomes of 30-day mortality, non-fatal MI, non-fatal CVA, and RRT among patients undergoing CABG. The outcomes are also similar when individually assessed. The off-pump technique has no additional benefit compared to the on-pump technique in females undergoing CABG.

Abstract
In high-income countries, ischaemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in women and men, accounting for more than 20% of deaths in both sexes. However, women are less likely to receive guideline-recommended percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than men. Women undergoing PCI have poorer unadjusted outcomes because they are older and have greater comorbidity than men, but uncertainty remains whether sex affects outcome after these differences in clinical characteristics are considered. In this paper, we review recent published evidence comparing outcomes between men and women undergoing PCI. We focus on the sex differences in PCI outcomes in different scenarios: acute coronary syndromes, stable angina and complex lesions, including the approach of left main coronary artery. We also review how gender is considered in recent guidelines and offer a common clinical scenario to illustrate the contemporary management strategies an interventional cardiologist should consider when performing PCI on a female patient.

[PMID: 36368145 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2022.10.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Revised: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Female gender has been shown to be associated with worse clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the impact of gender on the clinical outcomes of complex PCI is still poorly understood. This study examined the differences in patient and coronary lesion characteristics and longer-term clinical outcomes in male and female patients who underwent complex PCI. This was a sub-analysis of the e-ULTIMASTER study, which was a large, multicontinental, prospective, observational study enrolling 37,198 patients who underwent PCI with the Ultimaster stent. Patients who underwent complex PCI were stratified by gender. The primary outcome was target lesion failure at 12 months, defined as the composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, and clinically driven target lesion revascularization at 12 months. A total of 13,623 patients underwent complex procedures, of which 35.7% were women. Women were twice as likely as men to be aged ≥80 years (17.6% vs 9%, p <0.0001) and had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. Women had fewer lesions treated than men (1.5 ± 0.8 vs 1.6 ± 0.8, p <0.0001) and fewer stents implanted (2.0 ± 1.1 vs 2.1 ± 1.1, p <0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference in clinical outcomes at 12 months between women and men. Event rates were comparable in women and men for target lesion failure (4.7% vs 4.3%, p = 0.30), target vessel failure (5.1% vs 4.9%, p = 0.73), and cardiac death (1.8% vs 1.7%, p = 0.80).In conclusion, our findings suggest no significant differences in clinical outcomes between women and men who underwent complex PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rotational and orbital coronary atherectomy (CA) are commonly utilized to treat complex calcified coronary lesions. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate sex differences in procedural complications and clinical outcomes after CA. METHODS PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases were searched for all studies comparing sex differences in procedural and clinical outcomes following CA. The outcomes of interest were procedural complications (coronary dissection, stroke, major bleeding, coronary perforation, cardiac tamponade, and slow or no flow in target vessel) and the clinical outcomes (including early mortality, mid-term all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization). Pooled risk ratios (RRs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel random-effects model. RESULTS Six observational studies with 3517 patients (2420 men and 1035 women) were included in this meta-analysis. While there was no significant difference in the early mortality (RR, 1.14; 95% CI, 0.37-3.53; P = 0.83) between men and women, at a mean follow-up of 2.9 years, all-cause mortality was significantly higher in women (RR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11-1.49; P = 0.0009). Women had an increased risk of procedure-related stroke (RR, 3.98; 95% CI, 1.06-14.90; P = 0.04), coronary dissection (RR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.23-3.58; P = 0.006), and bleeding (RR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.30-3.93; P = 0.004), whereas the rates of coronary perforation, cardiac tamponade, and the risk of slow or no flow in the revascularized artery were similar in both. CONCLUSION In our analysis, women undergoing CA are at increased risk of mid-term mortality and procedure-related complications including stroke, coronary dissection, and major bleeding.

Prognostic factors of 10-year mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a secondary analysis of the arterial revascularization trial. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2022; 61:1414-1420. [PMID: 35138360 PMCID: PMC9154348 DOI: 10.1093/ejcts/ezac043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this investigation was to determine the preoperative prognostic factors of long-term (10-year) mortality in patients treated with isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery in the arterial revascularization trial (ART). METHODS A post hoc analysis of the ART was conducted. Cumulative 10-year mortality was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Prospectively collected preoperative data were used to determine the prognostic factors of 10-year all-cause mortality in patients who participated in the ART (Cox proportional hazards model). RESULTS A total of 3102 patients who participated in the ART were included in the analysis. Ten-year follow-up was completed in 3040 patients (98%). A total of 644 patients (20.8%) had died by 10 years. Preoperative factors that were identified as statistically significant predictors of 10-year mortality in the multivariable analysis (all P ≤ 0.01) were: left ventricular ejection fraction, atrial fibrillation, age, diabetes, prior cerebrovascular event (stroke or transient ischaemic attack), serum creatinine and smoking status. The following variables were significantly associated in univariable models but did not retain significance in the multivariable model for mortality: non-Caucasian ethnicity, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and prior myocardial infarction. CONCLUSIONS Independent predictors of 10-year mortality in the ART were multifactorial. Several key independent predictors of 10-year mortality in the ART were identified including: heart function, renal function, cerebrovascular disease, age, atrial fibrillation, smoking status and diabetes. Understanding which preoperative variables influence long-term outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting may help to target treatments to those at higher risk to reduce mortality.

Sex-Specific Outcomes Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Left Main Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Heart Lung Circ 2022; 31:658-665. [PMID: 35033432 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2021.10.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease differ between men and women. BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend either PCI or CABG for patients with unprotected LMCA disease and low-to-intermediate anatomical complexity. However, it is unclear whether these guidelines apply to women, who are underrepresented in clinical trials. METHODS An electronic search was performed to identify studies reporting sex-specific outcomes after PCI versus CABG in patients with LMCA disease. Trial level hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled by random-effects modelling. RESULTS Eight (8) studies met inclusion criteria, comprising 13,066 patients (24.3% women). In both sexes, there was no difference between PCI and CABG with respect to the primary composite endpoint of death, myocardial infarction or stroke (HR in women: 1.03, 95% CI 0.76-1.40; HR in men: 1.04, 95% CI 0.92-1.17). However, both sexes were more likely to require repeat revascularisation after PCI. There was no interaction between sex and treatment effect for the primary composite endpoint nor for the individual outcomes of death, stroke and repeat revascularisation. However, in women the risk of myocardial infarction was higher after PCI compared with CABG (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.06-3.18), with a trend toward the opposite in men (HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.54-1.13; p-interaction=0.01). CONCLUSION Percutaneous coronary intervention and CABG have a comparable risk of the composite outcome of death, stroke or myocardial infarction in patients undergoing revascularisation for LMCA disease, with no significant interaction between sex and treatment effect.

Abstract
Background Women have been underrepresented in the literature; the effects of female sex on outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain unclear. Objectives This study compares the real-world outcomes of women and men with AMI who have undergone revascularization via percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods This is a retrospective cohort study utilizing data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance database. We identified patients who were admitted for AMI and who underwent coronary revascularization during the index admission period between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2013. Patients were then categorized based on the treatment received into PCI and CABG groups. In-hospital and long-term outcomes were compared between women and men in each group. Interaction tests were then performed to determine whether the differences between sexes were modified by the mode of revascularization. Analyses were repeated after propensity score matching between women and men in each group to minimize possible confounders. We also conducted subgroup analyses, stratifying by the presence of diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. Results We enrolled 67,534 patients who met the inclusion criteria in the analysis; 60,207 patients had undergone PCI (13,514 female and 46,693 male), while 7327 patients had received CABG (1762 female and 5565 male). Prior to matching, enrolled female patients were older on average, with more comorbidities. In-hospital and long-term outcomes were worse in women, particularly in the PCI group. After matching, the incidence of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) was higher in women (10.4% vs 8.0%, OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.22–1.43), with fewer repeat revascularizations (28.1% vs 32.4%, OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.81–0.88). Both observations were more pronounced in the PCI group (HHF: P for interaction = 0.0496; repeat revascularization: P for interaction = 0.021). Conclusions Women presenting with AMI exhibited worse in-hospital and long-term outcomes than men, especially among women who received PCI as the initial mode of revascularization. Women who underwent PCI were more likely to be admitted for heart failure during follow-up. Possible socioeconomic inequalities or a distinct pathobiology of cardiac ischemia between sexes may underlie these results; thus, further investigation is needed. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s13293-022-00427-1. Among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), women were older, had more comorbid conditions, and were less likely to be discharged with optimal medical therapy than their male counterparts. In-hospital and long-term outcomes were worse among women compared to men, particularly in those who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as the mode of revascularization for AMI. Despite worse in-hospital survival, women were less likely to receive mechanical cardiac support. After propensity score matching between women and men for baseline characteristics, the incidence of hospitalization for heart failure was higher among women during long-term follow-up, especially among patients who had undergone PCI. Contrarily, the incidence of repeat revascularization procedures was lower in women in the long term. Mechanisms underlying cardiac ischemia likely differ between women and men, and socioeconomic inequalities that influence treatment of female patients are also possible.

Abstract
Biological and sociocultural differences between men and women are complex and likely account for most of the variations in the epidemiology and treatment outcomes of coronary artery disease (CAD) between the 2 sexes. Worse outcomes in women have been described following both conservative and invasive treatments of CAD. For example, increased levels of residual platelet reactivity during treatment with antiplatelet drugs, higher rates of adverse cardiovascular outcomes following percutaneous coronary revascularization, and higher operative and long-term mortality after coronary bypass surgery have been reported in women compared with in men. Despite the growing recognition of sex-specific determinants of outcomes, representation of women in clinical studies remains low and sex-specific management strategies are generally not provided in guidelines. This review summarizes the current evidence on sex-related differences in patients with CAD, focusing on the differential outcomes following medical therapy, percutaneous coronary interventions, and coronary artery bypass surgery.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the impact of gender on long-term outcomes after revascularization in patients with three-vessel disease (TVD), a severe and challenging subtype of coronary artery disease. Methods This was a single center retrospective cohort study. A total of 3776 patients with TVD who underwent revascularization between 2013 and 2018 were analyzed and were divided into the female group (n = 1039, 27.5%) and the male group (n = 2737, 72.5%). We performed a 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM) to balance the baseline characteristics, and a total of 1506 (504 matched pairs) patients were created after undertaking PSM. The primary outcome was the frequency of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, stroke, and readmission for angina pectoris or heart failure. The secondary outcome was the incidence of all-cause death. Results Through 2.4-year follow-up, no significant differences in MACCE (25.8% vs 27.5%, p = 0.279) and all-cause death (2.1% vs 2.2%, p = 0.888) were observed between the two cohorts. Similar results as with the early detection were obtained in propensity-matched patients. Multivariable analysis revealed that female gender (hazard ratio 0.99, 95% confidence interval 0.88–1.17, p = 0.820) was not an independent predictor of MACCE but percutaneous coronary intervention (compared with coronary artery bypass graft surgery), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, left main trunk involvement and left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40% were independently associated with a higher MACCE rate in these patients. Conclusion For patients with TVD after coronary revascularization, there were no gender-based differences in the long-term outcomes and female gender was not an independent predictor of MACCE.

Abstract
Background There are still limited data about the differential effect of sex on long‐term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery disease. This extended follow‐up study of the MAIN‐COMPARE (Ten‐Year Outcomes of Stents Versus Coronary‐Artery Bypass Grafting for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) registry evaluated clinical outcomes beyond 10 years. Methods and Results Of 2240 patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease (PCI=1102 and CABG=1138), all‐cause mortality, the composite of death, Q‐wave myocardial infarction, or stroke, and target vessel revascularization were separately evaluated in both sexes. Of 2240 patients, 631 (28.2%) were women and 1609 (71.8%) were men. Women had lower 10‐year incidences of death and serious composite outcomes than men. The adjusted 10‐year risks of adverse outcomes were similar in men. However, the adjusted 10‐year risks were different according to a prespecified period in women. In the short‐term (0–1 year) period, PCI had a significantly lower risk for serious composite outcomes (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.41; 95% CI, 0.19–0.91; P=0.03) compared with CABG. The adjusted risks for death and serious composite outcomes were significantly higher after PCI than after CABG, during the midterm (1–5 years) period (death; adjusted HR, 3.99; 95% CI, 2.01–7.92; P<0.001 and composite outcome; adjusted HR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.59–5.39; P=0.001). Beyond 5 years, adjusted risks were similar after PCI and CABG in women. Conclusions In this 10‐year extended follow‐up study of patients undergoing left main coronary artery revascularization, we observed a time‐dependent impact of sex on the long‐term outcomes after PCI and CABG, especially in women, with significant interactions. However, these results warrant confirmation on larger series of studies. Registration URl: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT02791412.

Abstract
Background Controversy exists over whether sex has significant interaction with revascularization strategy for unprotected left main coronary artery disease. Higher mortality has been reported among women treated with percutaneous coronary intervention compared with coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods and Results The DELTA (Drug‐Eluting Stents for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) and DELTA‐2 registries are international, multicentric registries evaluating the outcomes of subjects undergoing coronary revascularization for unprotected left main coronary artery disease. The primary outcome was a composite of death, myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accidents. The population consisted of 6253 patients, including 1689 (27%) women. Women were older and more likely to have diabetes and chronic kidney disease than men (P<0.05). At a median follow‐up of 29 months (interquartile range 12–49), a significant interaction between sex and revascularization strategy was observed for the primary end point (pint=0.012) and all‐cause death (pint=0.037). Among women, compared with percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting was associated with lower risk of the primary end point (event rate 9.5% versus 15.3%; adjusted hazard ratio [AHR], 0.53; 95% CI, 0.35–0.79, P<0.001) and all‐cause death (event rate 5.6% versus 11.7% AHR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.30–0.82) and no significant differences were observed in men. Conclusions In women undergoing coronary revascularization for unprotected left main coronary artery disease, coronary artery bypass grafting was associated with lower risk of death, myocardial infarction, or cerebrovascular accidents whereas no significant differences between coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention were observed in men. Further dedicated studies are needed to determine the optimal revascularization strategy in women with unprotected left main coronary artery disease.

Prognostic Value of Sex After Revascularization for Left Main Coronary Disease. JACC: ASIA 2022; 2:19-29.

Abstract
Background Female subjects have poorer outcomes in left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease compared with male subjects. However, limited information is available on the long-term prognostic impact of sex and sex–treatment interactions in patients with LMCA disease undergoing coronary revascularization. Objectives The goal of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of sex and related differential outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in LMCA disease. Methods The extended PRECOMBAT (Premier of Randomized Comparison of Bypass Surgery versus Angioplasty Using Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in Patients with Left Main Coronary Artery Disease) trial evaluated the >10-year clinical outcomes in patients with LMCA disease randomized to undergo PCI with drug-eluting stents (n = 300) or CABG (n = 300). The primary outcome was major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization) at 10 years. Results Of the 600 patients, 459 (76.5%) were male. The 10-year rates of MACCE were similar between male and female subjects in the overall cohort (27.3% vs 27.0%; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.06; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.70-1.59), the PCI arm (30.6% vs 27.1%; aHR: 1.19; 95% CI: 0.69-2.05), and the CABG arm (24.0% vs 26.9%; aHR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.53-1.62). The 10-year risks for MACCE did not significantly differ between PCI and CABG in both male (aHR: 1.37; 95% CI: 0.95-1.97) and female (aHR: 1.07; 95% CI: 0.56-2.07) subjects. There was no significant sex–treatment interaction regarding the adjusted risk of MACCE at 10 years (P for interaction = 0.52). Conclusions In this 10-year follow-up of the PRECOMBAT trial, there was no sex-related impact on the long-term risk of MACCE after PCI and CABG for LMCA disease.

Abstract
Since last year’s report in the European Heart Journal, we have witnessed substantial progress in all aspects of interventional cardiology. Of note, the practice of interventional cardiology took place amidst successive waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to be a major burden for all healthcare professionals around the globe. In our yearly review, we shall revisit the developments in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), structural heart interventions, and adjunctive pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Gender differences have been recognized in several aspects of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, evidence for gender differences in long-term outcomes after left main coronary artery (LMCA) revascularization is limited. We sought to evaluate the impact of gender on outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for unprotected LMCA disease. We evaluated 4,320 patients with LMCA disease who underwent CABG (n = 1,456) or PCI (n = 2,864) from the Interventional Research Incorporation Society-Left MAIN Revascularization registry. The primary outcome was a composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke. Among 4,320 patients, 968 (22.4%) were females and 3,352 (77.6%) were males. Compared to males, females were older, had a higher prevalence of hypertension and insulin-requiring diabetes, more frequently presented with acute coronary syndrome, but had less extensive CAD and less frequent left main bifurcation involvement. The adjusted risk for the primary outcome was not different after PCI or CABG in females and males (hazard ratio [HR] 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.73-1.63 and HR 0.97; 95% CI: 0.80-1.19, respectively); there was no significant interaction between gender and the revascularization strategy (P for interaction = 0.775). In multivariable analysis, gender did not appear to be an independent predictor for the primary outcome. In revascularization for LMCA disease, females and males had a comparable primary composite outcome of death, MI, or stroke with either CABG or PCI without a significant interaction of gender with the revascularization strategy.

Abstract
Over the last 4 decades, percutaneous coronary intervention has evolved dramatically and is now an acceptable treatment option for patients with advanced coronary artery disease. However, trialists have struggled to establish the respective roles for percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass graft surgery, especially in patients with multivessel disease and unprotected left-main stem coronary artery disease. Several pivotal trials and meta-analyses comparing these 2 revascularization strategies have enabled the relative merits of each technique to be established with regard to the type of ischemic syndrome, the coronary anatomy, and the patient's overall comorbidity. Precision medicine with individualized prognosis is emerging as an important method of selecting treatment. However, the never-ending advancement of technology, in conjunction with the emergence of novel pharmacological agents, will in the future continue to force us to reconsider the evolving question: "Which treatment strategy is better and for which patient?"
