BACKGROUND: Women undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at higher risk for bleeding and vascular complications than men. Multiple approaches have been utilized to reduce bleeding in the modern era of PCI, including radial access, reduced GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor use, increased vascular closure device use, smaller sheath size and novel antithrombotic regimens. Nevertheless, few studies have assessed the impact of these techniques on the gap between men and women for such complications following PCI. We sought to quantify bleeding and vascular complications over time between men and women. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of bleeding and vascular complications fell between 2003 and 2016 in both men and women. Vascular complications have become less common over time, and based on our analysis, there was no longer any difference between the sexes for this outcome. Bleeding following PCI has decreased in both sexes over time; however, women continue to bleed more than men. Copyright Published by Elsevier Inc. METHODS: We queried The Dartmouth Dynamic Registry for consecutive PCI's performed between January 2003 and June 2016. Demographic information, procedural characteristics, and in-hospital outcomes were collected and compared between men and women over the years. RESULTS: We reviewed 15,284 PCI cases, of which 4384 (29%) were performed in women. Radial access increased from none in 2003 to nearly 40% in 2016. Use of GP IIb/IIIa and femoral access decreased substantially over the same time. Bleeding and vascular complication rates decreased significantly in women (13.2% to 3%; 6.5% to 0.8%, respectively) and men (3.5% to 0.7%, 3.4% to 0.7%, respectively). The overall bleeding and vascular complication rates decreased more for women than men, narrowing the gender gap.
