Impact of Diabetes on Long-Term Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Coronary Bifurcation Lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as PCI for bifurcation lesions often yields poor outcomes, especially in DM patients.

Aims

The effect of DM on cardiovascular outcomes in bifurcation PCI was investigated in this retrospective, multicenter, observational, real-world registry of 2648 patients with coronary bifurcation lesions undergoing PCI with contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES).

Methods

The primary outcome was target lesion failure (TLF), defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization. The adjusted outcomes were compared using 1:1 propensity score
