In the past 20 years, peripheral artery disease (PAD) has been increasingly recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. PAD has traditionally been identified as a male-dominant disease; however, recent population trends and studies in PAD suggest that women are affected at least as often as men. Women comprise a larger population of the elderly than men, as well as an increasing proportion of patients with PAD. Much of the existing research on PAD has focused on whole populations, and gender-specific data on PAD is sparse. This review focuses on gender-specific differences in presentation, management, and outcomes of PAD intervention that are important considerations for the interventional radiologist.
在过去20年里，外周动脉疾病（PAD）在美国已日益被视为发病和死亡的一个重要原因。PAD传统上被认为是一种以男性为主的疾病；然而，近期关于PAD的人口趋势和研究表明，女性受影响的频率至少与男性相同。女性在老年人口中占比更大，在PAD患者中的比例也在不断增加。现有的许多关于PAD的研究都集中在总体人群上，关于PAD的性别特异性数据很少。本综述重点关注PAD干预在表现、管理和结果方面的性别特异性差异，这些是介入放射科医生需要重点考虑的因素。
