Dietary Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load in Relation to Atherosclerotic Stenosis of Carotid and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Ischemic Stroke Patients.
CONCLUSION: Higher GI and GL were positively associated with a higher degree of carotid stenosis in these Chinese cerebral infarction patients, especially in younger patients and women. PMID: 32147606 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

3D fusion imaging assisted carotid artery stenting is safe and feasible.
CONCLUSIONS: Carotid stenting with 3D fusion in this pilot study was safe and feasible. 3D fusion techniques using either CTA or MRA allowed a significant reduction of contrast volume but did not reduce radiation dose or exposure time. Larger prospective studies of CAS with 3D fusion imaging in patients with renal insufficiency or mild allergy to contrast are warranted. PMID: 31203597 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

High Event Rate After a First Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus: Results From the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry Coronary Interventions
Conclusions— The prognosis after a first percutaneous coronary intervention is more severe in patients with diabetes mellitus, in particular, in patients treated with insulin, with higher rates of mortality, cardiovascular events, and stent thrombosis over the following 5 years.

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...
