Gender-based outcomes of coronary bifurcation stenting: A report from the National Readmission Database.

Background: There is a paucity of data focusing on women's outcomes after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs).

Methods: Patients who received PCI for CBLs in the context of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during the period of 01 October 2015- 31 December 2017, were identified from the United States National Readmission Database. The primary endpoint of this study was in-hospital major adverse events (MAEs).

Thirty-Day Readmissions After Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in the United States: Insights From the Nationwide Readmissions Database.

Background: Several studies have investigated early readmissions after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). However, studies investigating 30-day readmission following PCI for chronic total occlusion (CTO) are lacking.

Methods: The National-Readmission-Database (NRD) was queried to identify patients undergoing elective CTO PCI between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
