In this study 8159 lesions were treated in 6739 patients (mean age 68.9 years) with coronary artery disease. Use of a DES significantly decreased the re-stenosis rate compared with BMS in both DM (9.6% versus 21.3%) and non-DM (9.5% versus 17.1%) patients. The re-stenosis rate was significantly higher in DM than in non-DM patients in the BMS group but not in the DES group. There was no statistically significant difference in event-free survival after stenting of patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease between the BMS and DES groups. It was concluded that, compared with BMS, DES reduced re-stenosis in patients with DM, however, we advise careful treatment after using DES for severe coronary disease, including LMCA lesions, in patients with DM. © 2011 Field House Publishing LLP., 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系}, pages = {549--557}, title = {Impact of severe coronary disease associated or not associated with diabetes mellitus on outcome of interventional treatment using stents: Results from HERZ (heart research group of Kanazawa) analyses}, volume = {39}, year = {2011} }
