Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atherectomy (AT) using an orbital/rotational system is useful in altering calcified plaque thereby facilitating stent placement and optimal stent expansion. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are known to have a higher rate of complications after percutaneous coronary intervention. We aimed to assess the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events after atherectomy in the diabetic population using a nationwide inpatient sample (NIS).
Methods
NIS-HCUP database from 2015–2017 was used to identify patients who underwent atherectomy. A cohort of patients with and without diabetes was identified. Demographics, in-hospital outcomes, complications in both groups were compared. Statistical significance was assigned at p<0.05.
Results
Out of 6184 patients who underwent AT, 3134 (50.6%) patients had DM. Baseline characteristics have been outlined in the table below. Complications were comparable between the two groups except for higher incidence of post-procedure VTE in Diabetic patients. In-hospital mortality was lower among patients with DM (2.24% vs 3.29%, p-0.27), while the mean length of stay (5.92 vs 4.91 days, p-0.002) and the hospitalization charges ($165118.4 vs 151226, p-0.04) were higher, but this difference in length of stay and hospitalization charges were nullified on multivariate regression.
Conclusion
Our study suggests that an AT for severely calcified plaque in the coronary artery is a safe option in patients with DM with comparable in-hospital complications and outcomes to non-DM patients.
