Risk of stent failure in patients with diabetes treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors: A nationwide observational study

Incretins are a group of glucose-lowering drugs with favourable cardiovascular (CV) effects against neoatherosclerosis. Incretins' potential effect in stent failure is unknown. The aim of this study is to determine if incretin treatment decreases the risk of stent-thrombosis (ST), and/or in-stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with implanted drug-eluting stents (DES).
