title: Influence of Sex on Long-Term Outcomes After Implantation of Bare-Metal Stent: A Multicenter Report From the Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome Study-Kyoto (CREDO-Kyoto) Registry Cohort-1.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Female sex was reported to be associated with lower risk for midterm restenosis and repeat revascularization after bare-metal stent implantation. However, the influence of sex on very long-term outcomes after bare-metal stent implantation has not been yet reported.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among the 9877 patients in the multicenter Coronary Revascularization Demonstrating Outcome study in Kyoto (CREDO-Kyoto) registry cohort-1, bare-metal stent implantation was performed in 5313 patients (men, n=3742 and women, n=1571). Follow-up was completed in 4515 patients (85.0%) at 10 years (duration, 10.3 ± 3.1 [0.0-14.1] years). The cumulative incidence of target-lesion revascularization (TLR) was 27% at 1 year and 34% at 10 years (0.8%/y beyond 1 year). Non-target-lesion revascularization (non-TLR) was the dominant coronary revascularization beyond 1 year (13% at 1 year and 31% at 10 years [2.0%/y beyond 1 year]). Cumulative incidence of stent thrombosis was low (1.2% at 1 year and 1.9% at 10 years). Women were older and had greater prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors than men. The cumulative 10-year incidences of and adjusted risk for TLR were significantly higher in men than in women (36% versus 30%, P<0.001; adjusted hazard ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-1.46; P<0.001). The higher risk of men relative to women for TLR was consistent regardless of age (<75 years and ≥ 75 years). Men in comparison with women were also associated with significantly higher adjusted risks for all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary artery bypass grafting, TLR, and non-TLR.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  TLR and stent thrombosis continued to occur without attenuation up to 10 years after bare-metal stent implantation. Men in comparison with women were associated with higher adjusted 10-year risks for all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary artery bypass grafting, TLR, and non-TLR.
