Abstract Background Diabetes was commonly seen in chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients but data regarding the impact of successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on clinical outcome of Basketball - Balls CTO patients with diabetes was controversial.And importantly, no studies have compared quality of life (QOL) after CTO-PCI in patients with and without diabetes.Methods Consecutive patients undergoing elective CTO-PCI were prospectively enrolled from Apr.2018 to May 2021.Patients were subdivided into 2 groups: Diabetes and No Diabetes.
Detailed baseline characteristics, assessment of symptoms and QOL, angiographic and procedural details, in-hospital complications, and 1 month and 1 year follow-up data were collected.These data were analyzed accordingly for risk predictors of clinical ECHINACEA TOOTHPASTE outcome in patients who have diabetes and received successful CTO-PCI.Results A total of 1076 patients underwent CTO-PCI attempts.Diabetes was present in 374 (34.76%) patients, who had more hypertension, previous PCI and stroke.
Regarding the coronary lesions, diabetic patients suffered more LCX lesion, multivessel disease, number of lesions per patient, blunt stump, calcification and higher J-CTO score (p 0.05).Number of lesions per patient was an independent risk factor of MACE and all-cause mortality (p 0.05).Conclusions Successful CTO-PCI could represent an effective strategy improving clinical outcome, symptoms and QOL in CTO patients with diabetes.
