Abstract

Background: Insulin treated diabetes mellitus (ITDM) is associated with more extensive atherosclerotic disease and worse cardiovascular prognosis compared to non-ITDM patients. Hypothesis: We sought to examine 1-year outcomes in ITDM and non-ITDM patients compared to non-DM patients following contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We followed consecutive patients undergoing PCI at a large tertiary center from 2009-2016. Prospectively collected data were retrospectively examined. Patients were grouped based on DM and treatment status at baseline. 1-year outcomes were analyzed in a time to event manner and adjusted using multivariable Cox regression methods. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as a composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI) or target vessel revascularization (TVR). Results: During the study period, 16,889 patients underwent PCI including 13.7% (n=2313) ITDM, 34.0% non-ITDM (n=5737) and 52.3% non-DM (n=8839) patients. ITDM and non-ITDM patients were younger than non-DM patients, with greater prevalence of females and non-white patients, higher body mass index and greater prevalence of prior revascularization and chronic kidney disease. ITDM patients were more likely to present with stable angina compared to others. With respect to angiographic characteristics, the prevalence of B2/C type lesions was similar between the groups. At 1-year, both ITDM and non-ITDM patients had greater risk of 1-year MACE and MI compared to non-DM patients, however ITDM patients had significantly higher rates of MACE, death, MI, and TLR ( figure ). Conclusions: The negative prognostic effect of DM following contemporary PCI is heightened in the presence of insulin treatment, compared to non-DM patients, despite use of contemporary PCI techniques and use of new generation DES.
