Spanish abstract Describir las diferencias de género en pacientes adultos sometidos a angioplastia carotídea y su relación con la morbimortalidad a 30 días y seis meses. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional de la base de datos que comprende los casos sometidos a angioplastia carotídea en el Departamento de Hemodinámica e Intervención Coronaria Periférica del Hospital de Cardiología No. 34, IMSS, Monterrey. Se analizaron las diferencias entre géneros y su relación con los puntos finales primarios dentro de los 30 días posteriores a la intervención, los cuales fueron definidos como la presencia de muerte relacionada con procedimiento, evento vascular cerebral o infarto agudo de miocardio. Resultados: Se incluyeron 279/341 pacientes/lesiones. Dentro de las características basales se encontró que las mujeres presentaban una mayor prevalencia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (61.4 versus 45.4%, p = 0.006), angioplastia renal previa (21.9 versus 11.5%, p = 0.015), afección de carótida derecha (65.8 versus 53.7%, p = 0.03), evento vascular cerebral (EVC) previo (34.4 versus 20.2%, p = 0.007) y EuroSCORE más alto (3.13 ± 1.72 versus 2.4 ± 1.26, p < 0.001). El género masculino sólo se asoció con mayor tabaquismo (69.2 versus 35.1%, p < 0.001). En el análisis univariado, el género femenino se asoció significativamente con EVC (fatal y no fatal) (4.4 versus 0.9%, p = 0.031). Al dividir en subgrupos de acuerdo con la sintomatología, se encontró una fuerte asociación entre las mujeres asintomáticas con más elevado riesgo de eventos cardiovasculares mayores en comparación con el grupo masculino asintomático (9.5 versus 1.4%, p = 0.004). Conclusiones: En nuestro centro, las mujeres sometidas a angioplastia carotídea presentan más comorbilidades y se encuentran en un riesgo mayor en comparación con el género masculino. Sin embargo, estas diferencias no impactan en la incidencia de eventos adversos cardiovasculares mayores a 30 días
English abstract To describe gender differences in adult patients undergoing carotid angioplasty and its relation to morbidity and mortality at 30 days and 6 months. Material and methods: An observational study from the WHO database comprehending all patients underwent carotid angioplasty in the Department of Hemodynamics Coronary and Peripheral Artery Intervention, Cardiology Hospital 34, IMSS, Monterrey, was conducted in order to ASSESS the differences between genders and their relationship to primary end points within 30 days after the intervention, which were defined as the presence of death related to the procedure, major cerebrovascular event, or myocardial infarction. Results: 279/341 patients/lesions were included for analysis. Within baseline characteristics, women had significantly higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (61.4 versus 45.4%, p = 0.006), prior renal angioplasty (21.9 versus 11.5%, p = 0.015), right carotid condition (65.8 versus 53.7%, p = 0.03), prior stroke (20.2 versus 34.4%, p = 0.007) and higher EuroSCORE (3.13 ± 1.72 versus 2.4 ± 1.26, p < 0.001). The masculine gender was only associated with smoking (69.2 versus 35.1%, p < 0.001). In univariate analysis, the female gender was associated with major fatal and non-fatal stroke (4.4 versus 0.9%, p = 0.031). According to symptomatology and subgroups, we found a significant association between women with asymptomatic Increased risk of major cardiovascular events when compared to asymptomatic diseases (9.5 versus 1.4%, p = 0.004). Conclusions: In our center, women who underwent carotid angioplasty present more comorbidities and higher risk in comparison with the male gender. However, these differences do not impact on most adverse cardiovascular events (MACVE) at 30 days. In the subgroup of asymptomatic patients, the risk of major cardiovascular events is significantly higher in the female gender
