coronary angioplasty (PTCA)(n= 834) and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG)(n …

Background Cardiac mortality and myocardial infarction (MI) rates are used to evaluate the
efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous transluminal coronary …

Background—Patients with treated diabetes in the randomized-trial segment of the Bypass
Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation (BARI) who were randomized to initial …

OBJECTIVES: Percutaneous intervention for coronary revascularization is associated with
an increased risk of repeat revascularization, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus. In …

Objectives: The present study evaluated clinical outcomes in diabetic patients after
multivessel stenting. Background: Multivessel angioplasty studies have reported decreased …

BACKGROUND: The optimal revascularization strategy for diabetic patients with multivessel
coronary artery disease (MVD) remains uncertain for lack of an adequately powered …

Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases the risk of clinically driven, repeat revascularization of the
stented lesion in the first year after coronary stenting. The effect of DM on the risk of repeat …
