Gender differences in post-PCI outcomes among young ACS patients

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is increasingly prevalent among young patients particularly in the South Asian region. Young women with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) usually experience greater short-term adverse events than young men particularly vascular complications and bleeding. However there is a scarcity of data on the short-term adverse outcomes between young Bangladeshi males and females with ACS undergoing PCI. This study was conducted to compare the short-term outcomes of PCI between young male and female Bangladeshis presenting with ACS.
