Abstract

In order to evaluate the clinical efficacy of coronary endarterectomy (CE) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes complicated with three diffuse coronary artery stenosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 460 patients with diabetes mellitus and diffuse three-vessel coronary artery disease who underwent CABG in our department from September 2015 to December 2021. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they underwent CE: the simple CABG group (group A, n = 254) and the CABG combined CE group (group B, n = 206). The perioperative outcomes, recurrent angina pectoris during 1-year follow-up, and the patency rate of the grafted vessel in coronary CT angiography were compared between the two groups. There was no significant difference in the 30days mortality rate between the two groups (2.3% vs 2.4%, p < 0.05). Group A had a shorter operation time [(3.55 ± 0.59) h versus (4.35 ± 0.65) h], less bypass grafts [(2.72 ± 0.83) versus (3.65 ± 0.72) vessels/case], a lower incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction (7.1% vs 12.6%), and a lower number of patent graft vessels at 1-year follow-up [(2.15 ± 0.42) versus (2.88 ± 0.68) vessels/case] compared with group B (all p < 0.05). Group A had a higher incidence of recurrent angina during follow-up (14.49% vs 6.47%) (p < 0.05). Although there was no significant difference in the incidence of MACCE events between the two groups, the probability of revascularization was higher in group A. Compared with single CABG, combined CE in patients with diabetes mellitus and diffuse three-vessel coronary artery disease can achieve more complete revascularization, reduce the recurrence of angina pectoris and the needing of postoperative revascularization, but the incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction is higher.
