Influence of Diabetes Mellitus on Early and Late Outcome After Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty

Abstract: Coronary angioplasty in diabetics is associated with high success and low complication rates. Although long-term survival is acceptable, diabetics have a higher rate of infarction and a greater need for additional revascularization procedures, probably because of early restenosis and late progression of coronary disease. The most appropriate treatment for these patients remains to be determined.

“…[1][2][3][4] Studies in affected patients as well as animal models have suggested that the inflammatory and proliferative responses are enhanced in diabetes and may explain the observed increased restenosis rate. [5][6][7][8] Pathological analyses indicate that neointimal formation is characterized by an inflammatory reaction at the site of injury, migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and the synthesis of excess matrix.…”

“…Diabetic patients have been reported to be at increased risk to develop complications of the procedure during hospitalization and to have higher rates of recurrence and decreased infarct-free survival after hospital discharge. [2][3][4] In long-term follow-up, diabetic patients undergoing percutaneous rather than surgical revascularization had nearly a threefold increase in late mortality. 2 Inhibition of platelet aggregation with abciximab, a monoclonal antibody directed against the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/ IIIa receptor on the platelet surface, has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of ischemic complications in patients with high-risk characteristics undergoing PTCA 5 and to reduce the combined risk of death, myocardial infarction, or revascularization of the target vessel at 6 months.…”
