What are the outcomes of repeat revascularization in diabetic patients with prior coronary surgery?
Cole JH et al. (2002) conducted a study to determine the outcomes of repeat revascularization in diabetic patients with prior coronary surgery. The study found that revascularization with either percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was associated with improved survival in diabetic patients with prior coronary surgery. However, the benefit of revascularization was greater in those with single-vessel disease compared to those with multivessel disease.
