Population Based Analysis of Gender Disparities in 23,715 Percutaneous Endovascular Revascularisations in the Metropolitan Area of Hamburg.

CONCLUSION: In this study considering percutaneous ER for PAD, female patients were older, had different clinical symptoms, suffered more often from complications, and were at risk of social isolation after discharge when compared with their male counterparts. These results emphasise the need for further studies to evaluate a gender based treatment algorithm in PAD.
