Long-Term Outcome of PCI Versus CABG in Insulin and Non–Insulin-Treated Diabetic Patients Results From the FREEDOM Trial
BackgroundThe prospective, randomized FREEDOM (Comparison of Two Treatments for Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease in Individuals With Diabetes) trial found coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) was associated with better clinical outcomes than percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with diabetes and multivessel disease, managed with or without insulin.ObjectivesIn this subgroup analysis of the FREEDOM trial, we examined the association of long-term clinical outcomes after revascularization in patients with insulin-treated diabetes mellitus (ITDM) compared with patients not treated with insulin.Method...

High Thoracic Epidural Analgesia as an Adjunct to General Anesthesia is Associated With Better Outcome in Low-to-Moderate Risk Cardiac Surgery Patients
Conclusion: This large, uniquely matched single-center cohort was generated, and, subject to the listed limitations the authors concluded that supplemental HTEA to general anesthesia had a better outcome in low-risk cardiac surgery patients, with a significantly lower 6-month mortality rate compared with the control group. However, regression analysis revealed that HTEA only had an independently positive effect on the frequency of postoperative dialysis.

Study may bust myth of 'fat and fit' healthy obesity
Conclusion This meta-analysis provides further evidence about the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. What this study adds is the indication that people who are metabolically unhealthy regardless of their weight are at increased risk. However, interestingly, no increase in risk was seen for the category of people who are metabolically healthy though overweight. A strength of this meta-analysis is the large sample size. However, the results should be interpreted with caution as: The studies did not use the same criteria for assessing metabolic status. The studies did not use the same criteri...

Coronary artery bypass grafting versus percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with non ‐insulin treated type 2 diabetes mellitus: a meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsIn NITDM patients, our study suggests that CABG surgery is associated with reduced risk of mortality and morbidity, though with increased incidence of stroke compared with PCI. The decision if to have PCI or CABG surgery should factor the risk for stroke of the patients when considering CABG over PCI. Adequately‐powered randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the results of this meta‐analysis.

Plasma Metal Concentrations and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Chinese Adults: The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort
Conclusions: Our study suggested that incident CHD was positively associated with plasma levels of titanium and arsenic, and inversely associated with selenium. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in other populations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1521 Received: 22 December 2016 Revised: 17 September 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Published: 19 October 2017 Address correspondence to T.

Treatment patterns, risk factor control and functional capacity in patients with cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease in the cardiac rehabilitation setting
Conclusion Within a short period of 3–4 weeks, CR led to substantial improvements in key risk factors such as lipid profile, blood pressure, and physical fitness for all patients, even if CKD was present.

Surgical revascularization for patients with diabetes: Do all roads lead to Rome?
The BARI 2D trial (Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes Trial)1 randomly allocated patients with type 2 diabetes and stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and evidence of myocardial ischemia to undergo, at the discretion of the treating physician, either early revascularization with a percutaneous intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with optimal medical therapy (OMT), or OMT alone. Patients in the OMT group were also randomly assigned to insulin-sensitizing strategy (metformin and thiazolidinedione) or an insulin-providing strategy (insulin or secretagogue.) The 5-year follo...

Is the Long-Term Outcome of PCI or CABG in Insulin-Treated Diabetic Patients Really Worse Than Non-Insulin-Treated Ones?
In a recent issue of the Journal, Dangas et al. (1), after analyzing 1,850 subjects from the FREEDOM (Comparison of Two Treatments for Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease in Individuals With Diabetes) trial, found that in patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease, the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) is higher in patients treated with insulin than it is in those not treated with insulin. Their work is excellent, and the results deserved to be considered given the large number of patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease who are...

Safety and efficacy of glucose-insulin-potassium treatment in coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate protective effects of glucose–insulin–potassium (GIK) on outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We systematically searched Medline/Pubmed, Elsevier, Embase, Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar. A total of 1206 studies were retrieved during the extensive literature search of all major databases; however, 38 trials reporting the end-point of interest were selected. We performed a pooled analysis of outcomes following PCI: incidence of cardiac arrest [odds ratio (OR) of 0.91; 95% confidence interval (CI): ...

Ten year experience of using a novel metabolic protocol in 'off pump' coronary artery bypass revascularization
Conclusions: Off-pump coronary artery bypass coupled with this novel metabolic protocol was associated with a low operative mortality and acceptable perioperative morbidities, including patients with left main coronary artery disease. These benefits are apparent at both short- and medium-term follow up.

Has the difference in mortality between percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting in people with heart disease and diabetes changed over the years? A systematic review and meta-regression
Conclusions The difference in outcome between PCI and CABG in diabetics has not narrowed from the beginning—with balloon angioplasty to current PCI—with the second generation of drug eluting stents. In contrast to the non-diabetics, there is a persistent 30% benefit in all cause mortality favouring CABG in diabetics, and this should be a major factor in treatment recommendation.

Comparing the Clinical Outcomes Between Insulin-treated and Non-insulin-treated Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Abstract: Several studies have shown coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) to be beneficial in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and multivessel coronary artery diseases. Patients with insulin-treated T2DM (ITDM) are usually patients with poor glycemic control and are expected to suffer more complications compared with patients with non-insulin-treated T2DM (NITDM). However, the adverse clinical outcomes in patients with ITDM and NITDM after CABG are still not very clear. Hence, to solve this issue, we aim to compare the short-and long-term adverse clinical outcomes in a larger number of patients with ITDM and ...
