In diabetic patients who require a revascularization procedure following previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may be preferable to repeat CABG, researchers report in the December 4th issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Dr. William S. Weintraub of Emory University, Atlanta, and colleagues observe that the longevity of patients has increased as CABG care has improved. However, this has also led to the likelihood of a need for repeat coronary interventions, and this is particularly so in diabetic patients who at greater risk of long-term problems after CABG.
