Diabetes mellitus and adverse outcomes after carotid endarterectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with carotid stenosis treated by CEA, DM is associated with short-term and long-term MAEs. DM may have a greater impact on adverse outcomes in asymptomatic patients after CEA. Insulin-dependent DM may have a more significant impact on post-CEA adverse outcomes than noninsulin-dependent DM. Whether DM management could reduce the risk of adverse outcomes after CEA requires further investigation.PMID:37334731 | PMC:PMC10278750 | DOI:10.1097/CM9.0000000000002730
