Women are Not at Higher Risk for Reintervention or Major Amputation after Lower Extremity Atherectomy for Peripheral Artery Disease. Ann Vasc Surg 2023; 95:95-107. [PMID: 37080286 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2023.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our objective was to compare short-term and long-term differences in reintervention-free and major amputation-free survival between female and male patients undergoing lower extremity atherectomy for peripheral artery disease. METHODS We analyzed lower extremity atherectomy procedures performed on 294 patients between January 2014 and September 2019. Reintervention was defined as either open bypass or endovascular procedure to the same region following the index operation. Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis was performed to compare reintervention-free and major amputation-free survival between sexes. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the adjusted odds of reintervention and major amputation based on sex. We conducted subgroup analyses by anatomic region (femoropopliteal vs. tibial), indication (claudication vs. chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI)), and balloon type (drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus plain balloon angioplasty (POBA)) across sexes. RESULTS Of the 294 patients, 125 (42.5%) were female. Compared to men, women receiving atherectomy were more likely to be Black (28.0% vs. 16.6%; P = 0.018), a nonsmoker (44.8% vs. 21.3%; P < 0.001), and present with CLTI (55.2% vs. 43.2%; P = 0.042). There were no differences in atherectomy region, lesion type, or balloon type between sexes. KM analysis showed similar 4-year reintervention-free survival (68.8% vs. 75.1%; P = 0.88) and major amputation-free survival (97.6% vs. 97.6%; P = 0.41) between sexes. Women and men had similar reintervention-free survival when grouped by femoropopliteal (67.9% vs. 70.8%; P = 0.69) or tibial (76.2% vs. 83.9%; P = 0.68) atherectomy region. Indication (claudication versus CLTI) did not affect reintervention-free survival in either women (64.5% vs. 69.6%; P = 0.28) or men (68.5% vs. 76.7%; P = 0.84). KM curves for DCB versus POBA were also similar between sexes and showed an early benefit in reintervention rate favoring DCB, which dissipated in both women (65.4% vs. 72.7%; P = 0.61) and men (75.5% vs. 78.4%; P = 0.18) by 3 years. CONCLUSIONS Compared to men, women demonstrate commensurate benefit from atherectomy for lower extremity revascularization. There were no differences seen in long-term reintervention or major amputation between sexes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if premature menopause and early menarche are associated with increased risk of AAA, and to explore potential effect modification by smoking history. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Despite worse outcomes for women with AAA, no studies have prospectively examined sex-specific risk factors, such as premature menopause and early menarche, with risk of AAA in a large, ethnically diverse cohort of women. METHODS This was a post-hoc analysis of Women's Health Initiative participants who were beneficiaries of Medicare Parts A&B fee-for-service. AAA cases and interventions were identified from claims data. Follow-up period included Medicare coverage until death, end of follow-up or end of coverage inclusive of 2017. RESULTS Of 101,119 participants included in the analysis, the mean age was 63 years and median follow-up was 11.3 years. Just under 10,000 (9.4%) women experienced premature menopause and 22,240 (22%) experienced early men-arche. Women with premature menopause were more likely to be overweight, Black, have >20 pack years of smoking, history of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and early menarche. During 1,091,840 person-years of follow-up, 1125 women were diagnosed with AAA, 134 had premature menopause (11.9%), 93 underwent surgical intervention and 45 (48%) required intervention for ruptured AAA. Premature menopause was associated with increased risk of AAA [hazard ratio 1.37 (1.14, 1.66)], but the association was no longer significant after multivariable adjustment for demographics and cardiovascular disease risk factors. Amongst women with ≥20 pack year smoking history (n = 19,286), 2148 (11.1%) had premature menopause, which was associated with greater risk of AAA in all models [hazard ratio 1.63 (1.24, 2.23)]. Early menarche was not associated with increased risk of AAA. CONCLUSIONS This study finds that premature menopause may be an important risk factor for AAA in women with significant smoking history. There was no significant association between premature menopause and risk of AAA amongst women who have never smoked. These results suggest an opportunity to develop strategies for better screening, risk reduction and stratification, and outcome improvement in the comprehensive vascular care of women.
