Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have worse clinical outcomes in comparison to patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). However, the adverse clinical outcomes were not similarly reported in all the studies. Therefore, in order to standardize this issue, a meta-analysis including 139,774 patients was carried out to compare the in-hospital, short-term (<1 year) and long-term (≥1 year) adverse clinical outcomes in patients with and without T2DM following PCI. METHODS Electronic databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and observational studies. The adverse clinical outcomes which were analyzed included mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), stroke, bleeding, target vessel revascularization (TVR), target lesion revascularization (TLR), and stent thrombosis. Risk Ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to express the pooled effect on discontinuous variables and the analysis was carried out by RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total number of 139,774 participants were assessed. Results of this analysis showed that in-hospital mortality and MACEs were significantly higher in patients with T2DM (RR 2.57; 95% CI: 1.95-3.38; P = .00001) and (RR: 1.38; 95% CI: 1.10-1.73; P = .005) respectively. In addition, majority of the short and long-term adverse clinical outcomes were also significantly higher in the DM group as compared to the non-DM group. Stent thrombosis was significantly higher in the DM compared to the non-DM group during the short term follow-up period (RR 1.59; 95% CI: 1.16-2.18;P = .004). However, long-term stent thrombosis was similarly manifested. CONCLUSION According to this meta-analysis including a total number of 139,774 patients, following PCI, those patients with T2DM suffered more in-hospital, short as well as long-term adverse outcomes as reported by most of the Randomized Controlled Trials and Observational studies, compared to those patients without diabetes mellitus.

Comparing the Clinical Outcomes between Drug Eluting Stents and Bare Metal Stents in Patients with Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 10 Randomized Controlled Trials. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0154064.

Abstract
Background Several studies have shown Drug Eluting Stents (DES) to be better compared to Bare Metal Stents (BMS) in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Since, the adverse clinical outcomes in patients with Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (ITDM) implanted with DES and BMS have not been previously studied, we aim to compare the clinical outcomes in similar patients with cardiovascular diseases, treated with DES and BMS. Methods Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) comparing patients treated with DES and BMS were searched from PubMed and EMBASE databases. Outcome data for the patients with ITDM were carefully extracted. Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACEs), mortality, Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR), Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR), Myocardial Infarction (MI) and Stent Thrombosis (ST) were considered as the clinical endpoints for this analysis. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated and the pooled analyses were performed with RevMan 5.3 software. Results Ten RCTs consisting of 830 patients with ITDM (477 patients in the DES group and 353 patients in the BMS group) from a total number of 9,141 patients were included in this analysis. During a follow-up period from one month to one year, MACEs were not increased with the use of DES in these patients with ITDM. At 9 months, MACEs were significantly lower in the DES group with OR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.23–0.72; P = 0.002 with no increase in mortality. TVR and TLR also favored the DES group with OR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.22–0.88, P = 0.02 and OR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.14–0.53; P = 0.0001 respectively at 9 months, and OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.23–0.94, P = 0.03 and OR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.14–0.55; P = 0.0003 respectively at one year. Results for MI, and ST were not statistically significant. Conclusion Compared to BMS, DES were associated with a significantly lower rate of repeated revascularization, without any increase in MACEs or mortality in these patients with ITDM during a follow up period of one year. However, due to the very small population size, further studies with a larger number of randomized patients are required to completely solve this issue.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2015; 94:e2313. [PMID: 26683970 PMCID: PMC5058942 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000002313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2015] [Revised: 11/05/2015] [Accepted: 11/24/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome can easily give rise to coronary heart disease (CHD). However, due to the existence of the so-called "obesity paradox" and "smoking paradox," the impact of these modifiable cardiovascular risk factors on mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still not clear. Therefore, in order to solve this issue, we aim to compare mortality between patients with low and high modifiable cardiovascular risk factors after PCI. Medline and EMBASE were searched for studies related to these modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. Reported outcome was all-cause mortality after PCI. Risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, and the pooled analyses were performed with RevMan 5.3 software. A total of 100 studies consisting of 884,190 patients (330,068 and 514,122 with high and low cardiovascular risk factors respectively) have been included in this meta-analysis. Diabetes mellitus was associated with a significantly higher short and long-term mortality with RR 2.11; 95% CI: (1.91-2.33) and 1.85; 95% CI: (1.66-2.06), respectively, after PCI. A significantly higher long-term mortality in the hypertensive and metabolic syndrome patients with RR 1.45; 95% CI: (1.24-1.69) and RR 1.29; 95% CI: (1.11-1.51), respectively, has also been observed. However, an unexpectedly, significantly lower mortality risk was observed among the smokers and obese patients. Certain modifiable cardiovascular risk subgroups had a significantly higher impact on mortality after PCI. However, mortality among the obese patients and the smokers showed an unexpected paradox after coronary intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemodynamic relevance of intermediate grade coronary stenoses is accurately assessed by fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements. However, the reliability of FFR in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and inadequate glucose control (IGC) is incompletely explored. This study aimed to investigate the impact of DM and IGC on the relationship between FFR measurements and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA)-derived morphological parameters. METHODS We performed FFR and QCA in 266 intermediate grade lesions of 224 patients (113 non-DM and 111 DM) with stable coronary artery disease. Diabetic patients were categorized into groups with adequate (HbA1C <7%) and inadequate (HbA1c ≥7%) glucose control. RESULTS Intermediate grade lesions from all-DM versus non-DM patients differed significantly in lesion length (LL) (10.91 ± 5.79 mm versus 9.23 ± 3.85 mm, p = 0.005) and hemodynamic relevance (FFR ≤0.8, 37.7% versus 24.2%, p = 0.018). FFR measurements in non-DM, all-DM and DM-IGC patients correlated significantly with percent diameter stenosis (%DS) [non-DM: r2 = 0.075 (p = 0.007); all-DM: r2 = 0.254 (p < 0.001), DM-IGC: r2 = 0.301 (p < 0.001)] and LL [non-DM: r2 = 0.356; all-DM: r2 = 0.580, DM-IGC: r2 = 0.513 (all p < 0.001)]. There was a better correlation between FFR and both %DS (p = 0.022) and LL (p = 0.011) among all-DM compared to non-DM patients. Receiver-operating curve analysis demonstrated that among all QCA-derived parameters LL had the best diagnostic efficacy to predict FFR ≤0.8 for non-DM (AUC 0.911, 95% CI 0.861-0.960, best cut-off value 9.22 mm), all-DM (AUC 0.967, 95% CI 0.942-0.991, best cut-off value 9.97 mm) and DM-IGC (AUC 0.960, 95% CI 0.920-0.999, best cut-off value 9.97 mm) patients. CONCLUSION Our data in intermediate grade lesions suggest that FFR is reliable in DM patients and LL is the best predictor for hemodynamic relevance in patients without and with diabetes, irrespective of the glycemic state.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly prevalent in elderly patients and adversely affects clinical outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting, non-cardiac surgery or myocardial infarction. Aim of the present analysis was to investigate the prognostic impact of AF in patients undergoing drug eluting stent (DES) implantation during a 1-year follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS 5,772 consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled into the German Drug Eluting Stent Registry (DES.DE) and were followed for 12 months. Of these 455 had AF and 5,317 in sinus rhythm served as controls. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and bleeding complications. RESULTS Patients with AF were older (71.3 ± 7.6 vs. 64.7 ± 10.5 years) and had a higher prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, renal insufficiency as well as more prior bypass surgery, stroke and peripheral arterial disease. Cardiogenic shock (2.9 vs. 1.4 %; p < 0.05), left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40 % (21.0 vs. 11.4 %; p < 0.0001) and triple vessel disease (44.4 vs. 37.9 %; p < 0.01) were more frequent in patients with AF than in controls. MACCE (OR 2.08, 95 % CI 1.56-2.77), total mortality (OR 3.27, 95 % CI 2.32-4.62) and non-fatal stroke (OR 2.03, 95 % CI 1.03-4.00) as well as bleeding complications (OR 1.88, 95 % CI 1.13-3.12) during the 1-year follow-up were more frequent in patients with AF (univariate analysis). In multivariate analyses adjusting for covariates determined to be relevant at baseline, the risk for total mortality remained elevated (OR 1.63, 95 % CI 1.05-2.52). CONCLUSIONS AF is an important predictor of long-term mortality in patients undergoing DES implantation.

Comparison of frequency of periprocedural myocardial infarction in patients with and without diabetes mellitus to those with previously unknown but elevated glycated hemoglobin levels (from the TWENTE Trial). Am J Cardiol 2012; 110:1561-7. [PMID: 22939581 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2012.07.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2012] [Revised: 07/12/2012] [Accepted: 07/12/2012] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
In patients without a history of diabetes mellitus, increased levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) are associated with higher cardiovascular risk. The relation between undetected diabetes and clinical outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention is unknown. To investigate whether these patients may have an increased risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI), the most frequent adverse event after percutaneous coronary intervention, we assessed patients of the TWENTE trial (a randomized, controlled, second-generation drug-eluting stent trial) in whom HbA1c data were available. Patients were classified as known diabetics or patients without a history of diabetes who were subdivided into undetected diabetics (HbA1c ≥6.5%) and nondiabetics (HbA1c <6.5%). Systematic measurement of cardiac biomarkers and electrocardiographic assessment were performed. One-year clinical outcome was also compared. Of 626 patients, 44 (7%) were undetected diabetics, 181 (29%) were known diabetics, and 401 (64%) were nondiabetics. In undetected diabetics the PMI rate was higher than in nondiabetics (13.6% vs 3.7%, p = 0.01) and known diabetics (13.6% vs 6.1%, p = 0.11). Multivariate analysis adjusting for covariates confirmed a significantly higher PMI risk in undetected diabetics compared to nondiabetics (odds ratio 6.13, 95% confidence interval 2.07 to 18.13, p = 0.001) and known diabetics (odds ratio 3.73, 95% confidence interval 1.17 to 11.89, p = 0.03). After 1 year, target vessel MI rate was significantly higher in undetected diabetics (p = 0.02) than in nondiabetics, which was related mainly to differences in PMI. Target vessel failure was numerically larger in unknown diabetics than in nondiabetics, but this difference did not reach statistical significance (13.6% vs 8.0%, p = 0.25). In conclusion, undetected diabetics were shown to have an increased risk of PMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized trials assess the potential of a medical device in well defined indications while "all comer studies" reveal the device performance in the real clinical environment. AIMS This 'all comers' registry assessed the 10-month outcome of the Coroflex(®) Please drug-eluting stent in Europe and Asia by clinically driven major adverse cardiac events. METHODS The Coroflex(®) Please Registry was an international, prospective, multicenter registry enrolling patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease. The primary endpoint was clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 9 months. Secondary endpoints were technical success, in-hospital outcomes, definite stent thrombosis and major adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, or TLR) for subgroup analyses. RESULTS Of the enrolled 1230 patients (63.6 ± 11.2 years, 33.9% diabetics), 339 (27.6%) had an acute coronary syndrome, 148 (12.1%) STEMI and 191 (15.6%) NSTEMI. After 10.5 ± 3.8 months (follow-up rate 92.8%), the target lesion revascularization rate (TLR) was 7.8% overall, 8.3% in STEMI, and 11.3% in NSTEMI patients. Total MACE was 11.1% and significantly higher in ACS with either diabetes mellitus (22.9%, p = 0.017) or age ≥75 years (25.4%, p = 0.026). In European and Asian patients MI rates (5.2% vs 3.1%, p = 0.135) and cardiac death rates (1.6% vs 0.9%, p = 0.414) were similar. The MACE rate was higher in Europe (13.6% vs 4.7%, p < 0.001) driven by a six times higher TLR rate. CONCLUSIONS TLR and MACE occurred within the range of previously published data. The incidence of MI and cardiac death were not different between Europe and Asia. MACE were higher in Europe driven by target lesion revascularization.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Although generic clopidogrel is widely used, clinical efficacy and safety between generic and original clopidogrel had not been well evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of 2 oral formulations of clopidogrel 75 mg tablets in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Subjects and Methods Between July 2006 and February 2009, 428 patients that underwent implantation with DES for CAD and completed >1 year of clinical follow-up were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into the following 2 groups based on treatment formulation, Platless® (test formulation, n=211) or Plavix® (reference formulation, n=217). The incidence of 1-year major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) and stent thrombosis (ST) were retrospectively reviewed. Results The baseline demographic and procedural characteristics were not significantly different between two treatment groups. The incidence of 1-year MACCEs was 8.5% {19/211, 2 deaths, 4 myocardial infarctions (MIs), 2 strokes, and 11 target vessel revascularizations (TVRs)} in Platless® group vs. 7.4% (16/217, 4 deaths, 1 MI, 2 strokes, and 9 TVRs) in Plavix® group (p=0.66). The incidence of 1-year ST was 0.5% (1 definite and subacute ST) in Platless® group vs. 0% in Plavix® group (p=0.49). Conclusion In this study, the 2 tablet preparations of clopidogrel showed similar rates of MACCEs, but additional prospective randomized studies with pharmacodynamics and platelet reactivity are needed to conclude whether generic clopidgrel may replace original clopidogrel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for the treatment of coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR). The cost-effectiveness of this practice is unknown. METHODS A Markov state-transition decision analytic model accounting for varying procedural efficacy rates, complication rates, and cost estimates was developed to compare DCB angioplasty with drug-eluting stent (DES) placement in patients with bare-metal stent (BMS)-ISR. Data on procedural outcomes associated with both treatment strategies were derived from the literature, and the cost analysis was conducted from a health care payer perspective. Effectiveness was expressed as life-years gained. RESULTS In the base-case analysis, initial procedure costs amounted to €3,604.14 for DCB angioplasty and to €3,309.66 for DES implantation. Over a 12-month time horizon, the DCB strategy was found to be less costly (€4,130.38 vs. €5,305.30) and slightly more effective in terms of life expectancy (0.983 vs. 0.976 years) than the DES strategy. Extensive sensitivity analyses indicated that, in comparison with DES implantation, the cost advantage of the DCB strategy was robust to clinically plausible variations in the values of key model input parameters. The variables with the greatest impact on base-case results were the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy with acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel after DCB angioplasty, the use of generic clopidogrel, and variations in the costs associated with the DCB device. CONCLUSION DCB angioplasty is a cost-effective treatment option for coronary BMS-ISR. The higher initial costs of DCB are more than offset by later cost-savings, predominantly as a result of reduced medication costs.

Impact of diabetes mellitus on the safety and effectiveness of bivalirudin in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary angioplasty: analysis from the HORIZONS-AMI (Harmonizing Outcomes with RevasculariZatiON and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction) trial. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2012; 4:760-8. [PMID: 21777884 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2011.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2011] [Revised: 04/04/2011] [Accepted: 04/13/2011] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bivalirudin compared with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI) in diabetic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND Prior studies have demonstrated that GPI are especially beneficial in patients with diabetes with acute coronary syndromes and/or those undergoing PCI. METHODS In the multicenter, prospective HORIZONS-AMI (Harmonizing Outcomes with RevasculariZatiON and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction) trial, 3,602 patients with STEMI were randomized to bivalirudin or unfractionated heparin plus a GPI. Clinical outcomes were analyzed at 30 days and 1 year in patients with diabetes. RESULTS Diabetes mellitus was present in 593 patients (16.5%). The rates of cardiac death were significantly lower in diabetic patients treated with bivalirudin compared with heparin plus GPI (30 days: 2.1% vs. 5.5%, p = 0.04; 1 year: 2.5% vs. 7.1%, p = 0.01), and bivalirudin resulted in lower 30-day rates of stroke (0% vs. 2%, p = 0.02). There were no significant differences among diabetic patients randomized to bivalirudin versus heparin plus GPI in the 1-year rates of major adverse cardiac events (14.2% vs. 16.2%, p = 0.44), major bleeding (8.7% vs. 10.7%, p = 0.42), or stent thrombosis (4.2% vs. 3.8%, p = 0.85). By interaction testing, the relative effects of bivalirudin compared with heparin plus GPI were not significantly different in patients with and without diabetes. CONCLUSIONS In patients with diabetes mellitus presenting with STEMI undergoing primary PCI, anticoagulant therapy with bivalirudin compared with heparin plus GPI is safe and effective and might reduce cardiac mortality at 30 days and 1 year.

Comparison between on-label versus off-label use of drug-eluting coronary stents in clinical practice: results from the German DES.DE-Registry. Clin Res Cardiol 2011; 100:701-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Observational studies from the USA have demonstrated that off-label use of drug-eluting stents (DES) is common. Data on off-label use in Western Europe are limited. METHODS We analyzed the data of consecutive patients receiving DES prospectively enrolled in the multicenter German DES.DE registry (Deutsches Drug-Eluting Stent Register) between October 2005 and October 2006. Off-label use was defined in the presence of one of the following criteria: ST-elevation myocardial infarction, in-stent stenosis, chronic total occlusion, lesions in a bypass graft, in bifurcation or left main stem, stent length per lesion ≥32 mm, and vessel diameter <2.5 or >3.5 mm. RESULTS Overall, 4,295 patients were included in this analysis and divided into two groups: 2,366 (55.1%) received DES for off-label and 1,929 (44.9%) for on-label indications. There were substantial differences in the rates of off-label use at the participating hospitals. Patients with off-label DES more often presented with high-risk features such as acute coronary syndrome, cardiogenic shock, congestive heart failure, and more complex coronary anatomy. Among hospital survivors, the incidence of the composite endpoint of death, myocardial infarction and stroke (MACCE) (9.2 vs. 7.4%, p < 0.05), and target vessel revascularization (TVR) (11.3 vs. 9.1%, p < 0.05) was increased in the off-label group at the 1-year follow-up. However, in the multivariate analysis off-label use was not linked with an elevated risk for MACCE (hazard ratio 0.86, 95% confidence interval 0.62-1.18) and TVR (hazard ratio 1.05, 95% confidence interval 0.78-1.42). CONCLUSIONS In clinical practice, DES was very frequently used off-label. After adjustment for confounding variables, off-label use was not associated with an increase of adverse events.

Long-term outcome after sirolimus-eluting stents versus bare metal stents in patients with diabetes mellitus: a patient-level meta-analysis of randomized trials. Clin Res Cardiol 2011; 100:561-70. [PMID: 21221607 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-010-0278-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2010] [Accepted: 12/23/2010] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although it is widely believed that patients with diabetes mellitus obtain the greatest benefit from drug-eluting stents, convincing evidence on long-term efficacy and safety of these stents is lacking. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis of individual patient data from four randomized trials including 583 patients comparing sirolimus eluting with bare metal stents (median follow-up of 4.2 years). These were the only specific trials reporting on drug-eluting stents in diabetic patients. The primary endpoint was the incidence of major cardiac events. The secondary endpoints were all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction as a safety endpoint and target lesion re-intervention as an efficacy endpoint. Stent thrombosis was also evaluated. RESULTS There was a significant reduction in the overall hazard of major cardiac events (hazard ratio [HR] 0.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36-0.63, P < 0.001) with sirolimus-eluting stents. This was mostly due to a significant reduction in the overall hazard of repeat revascularization (HR 0.27, 95% CI 0.18-0.41, P < 0.001) in favor of sirolimus-eluting stents. However, the overall hazard of death (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.59-1.41, P = 0.68) as well as death or myocardial infarction (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.54-1.09, P = 0.14) were not significantly different between the groups. No significant differences were observed regarding stent thrombosis (HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.15-1.69, P = 0.26). CONCLUSIONS Sirolimus-eluting stents are highly effective in reducing the risk for major cardiac events and safe in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease.
