Late results of endovascular coronary revascularization in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
2009
: The aim of this work was to evaluate anti-ischemic and angiographic efficiency of endovascular revascularization of ischemic myocardium by implantation of Sirolimus-eluting stents from the results of a 18 moth-long prospective study of patients with coronary heart disease and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The study included 108 patients with angina of effort randomized into two groups: CHD with DM (n = 51) and CHD without DM (n = 57). All of them received anti-ischemic and antihypertensive therapy and two desaggregants; DM patients also used oral hypoglycemic preparations. The patients underwent implantation of Sirolimus-eluting stents. The frequency of restenosis of the target arteries, development of serious cardio-vascular events (death, MI, cerebral stroke, and the need in repeat revascularization) were compared within 18 months after primary endovascular revascularization. Although Sirolimus-eluting stents markedly improved long-term prognosis in DM patients, results of their implantation were worse than in patients with CHD without DM.
