Evaluation of Long-term Coronary Stenting Outcomes in Diabetic Patients With or Without Optimal Glycemic Control

Despite recent advances in coronary revascularization, cardiovascular disease accounts for about 75% of all hospital admissions in diabetic patients.although the introduction of drug-eluting stents has reduced the rates of restenosis after PCI, diabetic patients undergoing PCI will have poorer clinical outcomes.In this study, we sought to investigate whether a pre and post procedural glycemic control in diabetic patients,as reflected by HgbA1C prior,1 and 6 months after elective PCI,was related to major advance cardiac events (MACE) during 3 year follow up.
