Abstract Previous studies have reported that women have worse outcomes than men after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. However, gender-related differences in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) have not been thoroughly investigated. In the Japanese nationwide registry, a total of 43,239 patients with NSTE-ACS from 861 hospitals underwent PCI in 2014. Overall, 11,326 (26.2%) patients were women. The women were older (75.0±10.3 vs 68.7±11.4 years, p
