Sex Differences in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention—Insights From the Coronary Angiography and PCI Registry of the German Society of Cardiology

PMCID: PMC5634243  PMID: 28877876

Correction

In the article by Heer et al, “Sex Differences in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention—Insights From the Coronary Angiography and PCI Registry of the German Society of Cardiology,” which published online March 20, 2017, and appeared in the March 2017 issue of the journal (J Am Heart Assoc. 2017; 6:e004972. DOI:10.1161/JAHA.116.004972.), incorrect values were presented in Table 1 in the section for PCI in STEMI‐ACS patients without cardiogenic shock (pp. 3–4) from the “On hemodialysis” row to the final row, “Resuscitation in cath lab”. The corrected Table 1 is presented below.

Table 1.

Values are expressed as percentages (number of occurrences/available cases) except for age (median; interquartile range). Only relevant data are shown. The complete tables can be found in Tables S1 through S4. CABG indicates coronary artery bypass graft; LV, left ventricle; NSTE‐ACS, non‐ST elevation acute coronary syndrome; OR, odds ratio; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; STEMI, ST elevation myocardial infarction; XA, coronary angiography.
