Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cancer are common and serious diseases. As the prognosis and treatment of both diseases has improved, more cancer patients will suffer an AMI. Unfortunately, data on these "double hit" patients is scarce.

Sex-related differences in outcome after endovascular revascularization for lower extremity artery disease.

Sex-related differences may influence the outcome of endovascular revascularization (EVR) in patients with lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) even under optimized healthcare supply. LEAD patients who underwent EVR at the Department of Cardiology I - Coronary and Peripheral Vascular Disease, Heart Failure, University Hospital Muenster, Germany between 2014 and 2016 were included into the retrospective study. Detailed information on risk factors and co-morbidities, medication, LEAD related measures, and interventional parameters were assessed.
