Hospitalized upper extremity artery disease patients: treatment and long-term outcomes
Upper extremity artery disease patients, irrespective of the underlying disease type, face a poor prognosis with elevated proportion of amputation and mortality. Male sex was linked to increased risk of future cardiovascular and limb events including death. Further investigation is warranted to understand the underlying causes of the sex-related disparities and identify treatment improvements.
