Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention outcomes of diabetic and nondiabetic men have improved in recent years. However, among women, diabetic patients had greater improvements in outcomes after PCI compared with nondiabetic patients. As a result, diabetes is no longer a stronger risk factor for adverse outcomes after PCI in women than in men.
