Circulation, Ahead of Print. Sex differences in the risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of patients with cardiovascular disease have been well described; however, the bulk of the literature has focused on heart disease in women. Data on sex differences in peripheral vascular disease are ill defined, and there is a need to report and understand those sex-related differences to mitigate adverse outcomes related to those disparities. Although peripheral vascular disease is a highly diverse group of disorders affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatics, this scientific statement focuses on disorders affecting the peripheral arteries to include the aorta and its branch vessels. The purpose of this scientific statement is to report the current status of sex-based differences and disparities in peripheral vascular disease and to provide research priorities to achieve health equity for women with peripheral vascular disease.

Objectives
Women with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are less likely to receive elective repair than men. This study explored the effect of patient sex and other attributes on vascular surgeons’ decision-making for infrarenal AAA repair.

Design
Discrete choice experiment.

Setting
Simulated environment using case scenarios with varying patient attributes.

Participants
Vascular surgeons.

Interventions
Surgical decision-making.

Main outcome measures
AAA repair versus no repair and endovascular versus open repair.

Results
182 surgeons completed 2987 scenarios. When all other attributes were equal, a woman was more likely to be offered an AAA repair (marginal rate of substitution (MRS) 3.86 (95% CI 2.93, 4.79)), while very high anaesthetic risk (MRS –4.33 (95% CI –5.63, –3.03)) and hostile anatomy (MRS –3.28 (95% CI –4.55, –2.01)) were deterrents. Increasing age did not adversely affect the likelihood of offering repair to men but decreased the likelihood for women, which negated women’s selection advantage from the age of 83 years. Women were also more likely to be offered endovascular repair (MRS 2.57 (95% CI 1.30, 3.84)).

Conclusions
Patient sex alone did not account for real-world disparity observed in selection for surgery. Rather, being a woman was associated with a higher likelihood of being offered AAA repair but also a higher likelihood of being offered less invasive endovascular repair. Increased age decreased the likelihood of surgical selection for women but not men. Preference for less invasive repair, combined with inferior rates of anatomical suitability, and the comparably older age of women at the time of AAA repair selection may account for lower rates of repair for women observed.
