Background. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) 1978-1981 Registry cohort indicated that PTCA risk was higher and efficacy was lower in women. Data from the 1985-1986 PTCA Registry are used to address the question of whether compared with men, women still have a worse outcome after Methods and Results. The 1985-1986 NHLBI PTCA Registry collected data on consecutive, first-PTCA cases at 16 centers. Initial results are reported for 2,136 patients, 546 of whom were women. Four-year follow-up status was available on 95% of the cohort. Although women were an average of 4.5 years older than the male patients and had more cardiovascular risk factors and more severe angina, their coronary artery disease as assessed by angiography was not more extensive. Rates of angiographic success on a per-lesion basis were similar for women and men (89% versus 88%), and the clinical success rates (79%) were the same. Women had more initial complications (29% versus 20%, p
