Background Diabetes is a major risk factor for restenosis after coronary balloon angioplasty. Recent studies have shown that coronary stenting significantly reduces restenosis compared with balloon angioplasty alone. However, limited information is available on the effect of coronary stenting in diabetic patients.

Methods and Results We designed this study to analyze the effect of diabetes on restenosis in patients treated with either balloon angioplasty or coronary stenting who were enrolled in a 6-month angiographic follow-up program. Three hundred consecutive patients, 19% of whom were diabetics, who underwent coronary stent implantation during a single-vessel procedure on native coronary vessels and who had 6-month angiographic follow-up constituted the study group (stent group). Three hundred consecutive patients who underwent 6-month angiographic follow-up after single-vessel conventional balloon angioplasty served as control patients (balloon group). Preprocedural, postprocedural, and follow-up angiograms were analyzed with quantitative angiography. In the balloon group, the restenosis rate was almost twofold higher in diabetic than in nondiabetic patients (63% versus 36%; P=.0002) owing to both a greater late loss (0.79±0.70 versus 0.41±0.61 mm, respectively; P<.0001) and a higher rate of late vessel occlusion (14% versus 3%, respectively; P<.001). In the stent group, restenosis rates were similar in diabetics and nondiabetics (25% versus 27%, respectively). Furthermore, in the stent group, late loss (0.77±0.65 versus 0.79±0.57 mm, respectively) and the rate of late vessel occlusion (2% versus 1%, respectively) did not differ significantly between diabetic and nondiabetic patients.

Conclusions Although diabetics have increased rates of restenosis and late vessel occlusion after simple balloon angioplasty, they have the same improved outcome with coronary stenting that has been documented in nondiabetic patients.
