Women have higher post PCI bleeding complications which in turn contributes to higher post PCI mortality. Bivalirudin decreases bleeding events in both men and women when compared to use of both heparin and GPI but bleeding avoidance strategies such as radial artery access or avoiding GPI may modify that benefit. The NCDR bleeding risk score incorporates gender and is predictive of both bleeding complications and mortality. The ideal strategy to reduce bleeding will depend on the specific patient, local practice patterns, and ideally cost effectiveness.
