Gender disparities among patients with peripheral arterial disease treated via endovascular approach: A propensity score matched analysis

ConclusionThis study revealed no difference in in‐hospital mortality between males and females undergoing endovascular peripheral intervention. Males have a higher rate of complications compared to females which explains the higher cost of care in males. Further research with long‐term follow up is needed to see if there is any difference with regards to long‐term outcomes and re‐admission.
