Gender-Based Differences in Long-Term Outcome After ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients Treated with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

There was no gender-related difference in the long-term outcome if patients were sytematically treated with PCI in STEMI. PCI in STEMI has a long-lasting positive effect in women and should, therefore, be considered the treatment of choice for women with acute myocardial infarction.
