Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable angina in the left main coronary artery has increased, with a study examining outcomes between men and women based on data from the UK's national PCI registry (2006-2022).
- The study found that while women undergoing LMCA PCI were older and had fewer comorbid conditions, they experienced higher mortality rates and major bleeding events compared to men, with significant statistical differences in these outcomes.
- The authors suggest that a sex-specific approach to treatment, taking into account factors like age and imaging techniques, could help improve the health outcomes for female patients undergoing this procedure.

Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is frequent in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Although primary MR is an established negative prognostic factor, whether different mechanisms of MR have different effects on outcome is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the MR mechanism in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Female patients are well represented in transfemoral aortic valve implantation (TAVI) trials and appear to derive favorable outcomes with TAVI. However, higher incidences of major bleeding, vascular complications, and stroke have been reported in women following TAVI.
