Implication

Poor control may elevate restenosis risk after PTCA in NIDDM; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice pending RCTs.

Structured PICO

Does poor glycemic control increase the risk of restenosis after PTCA in patients with NIDDM?

Population

203 patients (86 with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [NIDDM] and 117 non-diabetic cases) selected from 1282 consecutive patients who underwent elective and successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Excluded: familial hypercholesterolemia, renal failure, unstable angina pectoris, bypass graft surgery within 1 month.

Intervention

Poor glycemic control in NIDDM patients

Comparator

Well or moderately controlled NIDDM, or non-diabetic status

Outcome

Restenosis (defined as an increase from 50% to 75% diameter stenosis at the same lesion) within 1 year after angioplastysurrogate

Poor glycemic control in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is associated with a significantly higher rate of angiographic restenosis following elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
