(WikiDoc) - Routine invasive procedures do not seem to benefit women with non-ST-elevation (NSTE) acute coronary syndromes (ACS), according to a substudy of the OASIS 5 trial published in the European Heart Journal. Instead, the study found, those women are more likely to die and more often experience significant bleeding. The study suggests research done on invasive procedures in men may not apply to women, and vice-versa. The study looked at 185 women and its author admits more studies may be needed.
