Abstract:
The object of this review is to update our knowledge of the results of revascularisation by angioplasty in diabetics. The authors discuss: 1. the clinical results in diabetic patients compared with non-diabetics and the results of coronary bypass surgery; 2. the factors influencing the prognosis of these patients after balloon angioplasty, especially with respect to restenosis; 3. the possibilities of improving the results by the use of modern techniques of revascularisation and prevention and 4. the strategies of revascularisation which may be proposed, based on available data.
