Sex Differences in Long-Term Cause-Specific Mortality After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Temporal Trends and Mechanisms [Coronary Interventions]

The higher mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention in women is because of death from noncardiac causes. This is accounted for by baseline age and comorbidities rather than an additional sex-specific factor. These findings have implications for sex-specific clinical care and trial design.
