This study revealed no difference in in-hospital mortality between males and females undergoing endovascular peripheral intervention. Males have a higher rate of complications compared to females which explains the higher cost of care in males. Further research with long-term follow up is needed to see if there is any difference with regards to long-term outcomes and re-admission.
