Why is it important?
Our cohort study has strengths, including the completeness of the data set and high accuracy. It was large and contemporary and can effectively represent the distribution of Asian populations.
Perspectives
Our multicentric observational registry of PCAD in Asia indicated that hypertension and diabetes mellitus were more prevalent in females, while males had a higher frequency of cigarette smoking. Although males were manifested as acute total occlusive lesions, gender was not the crucial factor for clinical outcomes of PCAD in Asian developing countries after DES implantation.
