However, the implications and results of coronary stenting in women have not been
systematically studied. This information is relevant, first, because results of balloon
coronary angioplasty in women are generally considered less satisfactory than in men

referral bias in favor of men in the use of invasive diagnostic procedures and coronary

Accordingly, the present investigation was undertaken to determine the initial results
and the long-term clinical and angiographic implications of coronary stenting in women.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
