ABSTRACT
á
Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are an important and increasingly recognized subgroup of coronary lesions, documented in at least 30%, but up to 52% of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing coronary angiography. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of these lesions is increasingly pursued, with excellent success rates. PURPOSE OF REVIEW It is known that gender differences exist in the presentation of CAD, as well as in clinical outcomes after routine PCI; however, it is not well described how these differences pertain to management of CTOs. This review summarizes the available data regarding sex-based differences in CTO management and outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS:
Women comprise approximately 20% of CTO registry and trial participants. As has been demonstrated in PCI studies, women comprise a minority of patients in CTO PCI registries and trials. Sex-based differences exist in complication rates, collateral formation, and outcomes and need further evaluation in future studies.Palabras clave
