Diabetic Patients: Current Evidence of Revascularization Alexandra J. Lansky, MD Yale University School of Medicine University College of London
The Problem with Diabetic Patients Endothelial dysfunction 1 Increased platelet reactivity 2 Increased number of activated circulating platelets 3 Higher levels of fibrinogen and factor VII 1 Lower levels of endogenous fibrinolytic activity and antithrombin III 1 Higher levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 4 More diffuse disease Smaller vessels by angiography Less collaterals Exaggerated cellular and matrix proliferation 1.

Conclusion With new generation DES, the benefits of PCI compared to in terms of lesser invasiveness, fewer major peri-procedural complications, reduced stroke, better early QOL, more rapid return to work, etc., outweigh the greater rate of repeat revascularization, as long as mortality is not increased. It is reasonable to perform PCI in nearly all pts with a SYNTAX score 22 irrespective of insulin therapy, and select with SYNTAX score 23 33 Most pts with SYNTAX score 33 who are good surgical candidates should be referred to
