Popis:	Compared with medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with higher bleeding rates and more vascular complications. Although the rate of complications is decreasing, female sex continues to be an independent risk factor. Radial access for PCI is as effective as femoral access but is associated with significantly fewer bleeding and vascular complications. Although women are at higher risk for bleeding and vascular complications than their male counterparts, the use of radial access has decreased the complications to a level in the which the difference becomes minimal. More quality improvement studies are needed to identify strategies for reducing complications in this high-risk population.
