Data were obtained 1238 patients. For each subject 429 questions »yes-no« type answered 69 numerical data collected. Incidence rates signs considered descriptors. Out those exceeding an incidence rate 25 percent, between 60 95 percent...
Abstract Background Gender‐specific data addressing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO) in female patients are scarce and based on small sample size studies. Aims We aimed to analyze gender‐differences regarding in‐hospital clinical outcomes after CTO‐PCI. Methods Data from 35,449 enrolled the prospective European Registry CTOs were analyzed.

Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain depending on primary event: an intimal tear "inside-out" hypothesis spontaneous hemorrhage from vasa vasorum...
