Abstract
In this study, factors associated with the spreading of coronary stenosis were different according to the gender. Moreover, the presence of diabetes and multivessel disease had a negative impact on the long-term prognosis of patients undergoing PTCA. In addition, the family history of CAD represented in our study a strong predictor of clinical events. We suggest that in the management of post-PTCA patients, the role of individual baseline clinical characteristics must be taken into account and that subjects with a family history of premature CAD, diabetes and a wide extension of coronary disease represent those with the highest risk.
