Seguimiento a mediano plazo tras la implantación de stents coronarios convencionales en mujeres

gender role after coronary stents implantation even arouse controversies. this is a study to characterize the medium term course of women treated with coronary stents from january 2006 to december 2007. the following adverse cardiac major events (acme) were considered: cardiac death, non-fatal myocardium infarct, and the need of revascularization of target lesion. survival rates were estimated by means of kaplan meier method. in multivariate analysis cox regression model was used. were included 162 women during follow-up (12,9±4,7 months), 32 had some mayor event, 3 had a non-fatal myocardium infarct with only one deceased . acme-free survival and revascularization of target lesions at a year were of 69,49 and 78,07 %, respectively. multi-arteries intervention, stents implantation with a diameter lesser than 3 mm, and systolic dysfunction of left ventricle shadowed the prognosis during follow-up.
