The preoperative triglyceride-glucose index has a positive effect on predicting the risk of short-term restenosis after carotid artery stenting: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increasing evidence suggests that insulin resistance is linked to cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has proven to be a convincing marker to quantitatively evaluate insulin resistance. However, there is no relevant information about the relationship between the TyG index and restenosis after carotid artery stenting.

Methods

A total of 218 patients were enrolled. Carotid ultrasound and computed tomography angiography were used to evaluate in-stent restenosis. A Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression method were performed to analyze the correlation between TyG index and restenosis. Schoenfeld residuals were used to determine the proportional-hazards assumption. A restricted cubic spline method was used to model and vis
