Intra vascular ultrasound findings in drug eluting stent restenosis following emergent PCI for acute coronary syndrome - Gender based analysis

The occurrence of ISR was higher in women. Women had higher TLR and lower mean vessel size. In 46% of women and 39% men, a mechanical factor with sub optimal stent deployment was found. Longer stented length, diffuse disease, calcification and Type B/C lesion type were associated with under expanded and undersized stents.
