Single vs Multi-Arterial Grafts for CABG - Analysis of Recent Data
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there are 37.3 million people with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the United States.1 The main cause of death for DM patients, type 1 and 2, is coronary artery disease (CAD), with a 2 to 4-fold increased risk of mortality for heart disease.2 The trend of increased morbidity and mortality in DM patients is likely due to its more complex and diffuse CAD pattern.3 Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard when compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CAD in DM with a reduction in mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke as d...

Long-Term Risk of Stroke in Patients With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Cardiovascular Surgery
Conclusions The long-term risk for stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting was increased in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, compared to patients with no diabetes.

Glycemic Control in Type 1 Diabetes and Long-Term Risk of Cardiovascular Events or Death After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
ConclusionsIn patients with T1DM, poor glycemic control before CABG was associated with increased long-term risk of death or MACE. (HeAlth-data Register sTudies of Risk and Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery [HARTROCS]; NCT02276950)

Impact of Type 1 and 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Long-Term Outcomes After CABG ∗
It is well-established both that the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is rising rapidly in the developed world and that its presence is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death (1). Over the last decade, it also has become increasingly clear that for patients with diabetes who require coronary artery revascularization, in addition to optimal medical therapy, that the results of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are superior to percutaneous coronary intervention in terms of significant reductions in mortality, myocardial infarction, and the need for repeat interventions but at the cost of a sl...

Abstract 251: Risk Factors for Recurrence of Cardiovascular Events Following Acute Coronary Syndrome: Longitudinal Analysis from 2006-2011 Poster Session III
Conclusion: Following an ACS event, patients with pre-admission statin use or a prior CABG had decreased risk, while older patients or those with baseline comorbidities had increased risk of an adverse CV event occurring sooner. Ultimately, identifying high-risk ACS subgroups may facilitate tailored and more aggressive treatment to improve outcomes.
