Diabetes Mellitus Background § Estimated > 170 million people worldwide have diabetes mellitus. § Diabetics have a 2 - to 4 -fold increase risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to non-diabetics. § 75% of diabetics die from cardiovascular disease. § Diabetes often is associated with chronic kidney disease; interventions (PCI or CABG) are associated with higher risk in diabetics, especially if chronic kidney disease is present. § Revascularization (PCI or CABG) outcomes in diabetics are inferior to non-diabetics. Baber U, et al. Eur Heart J. 2016; 37: 3440– 47. Armstrong EJ, et al. Circulation. 2013; 128: 1675 -85.
Diabetes Mellitus Background § Hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and altered free fatty acid metabolism found in diabetics alters inflammatory pathways causing: - endothelial dysfunction thrombogenesis monocyte activation foam cell transformation altered smooth muscle cell migration others § These changes result in increased coronary artery plaque burden and plaque instability. Armstrong EJ, et al. Circulation. 2013; 128: 1675 -85.

Coronary Artery Disease Medical Management § Therapy for the plaque - statin, PCSK 9 inhibitors, smoking cessation, others § Therapy to preserve/improve left ventricular function - b-blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, others § Therapy for angina/ischemia - b-blockers, calcium channel blockers, nitrates, others § Therapy to prevent sudden cardiac death § These measures should be applied to all patients with coronary artery disease regardless of symptoms and/or underlying pathology.

Major Cardiovascular Events in Diabetics Based on SYNTAX Score § Low (≤ 22) SYNTAX score there is no difference between medical therapy and revascularization (PCI or CABG) in diabetics at 5 year follow-up. § Mid (23 -32) and high (≥ 33) SYNTAX scores there is a decrease in major cardiovascular events with CABG compared to PCI in diabetics at 3 year follow-up. § In non-diabetics, CABG resulted in a decrease in major cardiovascular events only in the high (≥ 33) SYNTAX score compared to PCI at 3 year follow-up. § Initial strategy of medical therapy may be reasonable in diabetics with stable coronary artery disease and low SYTNAX score; however, 42% of patients assigned to medical therapy required revascularization during the 5 -year follow-up.

Hybrid Approach to Coronary Revascularization Advantages § Less invasive than standard CABG using minimal invasive access and off-pump. § Utilize LIMA to the LAD (most survival benefit). § Decreases cardiopulmonary bypass (if used) and surgical times; avoids clamping aorta. § Substitutes coronary artery stents for grafts; drug eluting stents provide a good form of revascularization. § Allows close collaboration between interventional cardiologist and cardiothoracic surgeon. § LIMA angiogram can be performed immediately post-surgery (prior to chest closure) if using the Hybrid Cardiovascular Operating Room.

Optimal Revascularization of the Diabetic Patient with Coronary Artery Disease Summary § Diabetics have an increase risk of coronary artery disease compared to non-diabetics. § Diabetics have increased risk of target vessel failure after coronary artery revascularization and repeat coronary artery interventions. § Insulin treated diabetics have higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events after revascularization compared to non-insulin treated diabetics.
Optimal Revascularization of the Diabetic Patient with Coronary Artery Disease Summary § Medical therapy initially may be reasonable in diabetics with stable coronary artery disease and low SYTNAX score; however, a substantial number of patients will require revascularization within 5 years. § Mid and high SYNTAX scores have decrease in major cardiovascular events with CABG compared to PCI. § CABG is a superior form of revascularization in diabetics mostly due to the utilization of the LIMA to the left anterior descending artery decreasing major cardiovascular events including mortality.
Optimal Revascularization of the Diabetic Patient with Coronary Artery Disease Summary § Hybrid approach for coronary revascularization may be considered providing a less invasive approach to revascularization utilizing the LIMA to the LAD (survival benefit) and PCI to other vessels. § Medical management is critical to provide therapy for the plaque, preserve/improve left ventricular function, treat angina/ischemia and prevent sudden cardiac death.

Anti-Platelet Therapy Diabetes Mellitus § Prasugrel (TRITON-TIMI 38) and ticagrelor (PLATO) overall showed clinical improvement compared with clopidogrel after PCI. - Subgroup analyses showed diabetics had relative reductions in major cardiovascular events ≥ than reductions in non-diabetics. § A large proportion of patients treated with enteric coated aspirin did not achieve complete inhibition of thromboxane B 2 due to incomplete absorption; reduced bioavailability of enteric coated aspirin may contribute to aspirin resistance in diabetics. § No significant difference in cardiovascular or bleeding outcomes with aspirin monotherapy vs. dual antiplatelet therapy post-CABG.
