Outcomes by Sex and Ethnicity after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Limited data on sex differences by ethnicity following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) exist. In this prospective cohort study, we examined sex differences in 1-year outcomes among patients from 4 ethnic groups who underwent PCI from 2010-2016 at a tertiary center. The primary outcome was 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or target lesion revascularization (TLR).Secondary outcomes included composite of death or MI and individual components of MACE.
