Insights
Peripheral artery disease, glucose variability, and switching to insulin are key risk factors for early cardiovascular complications after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with diabetes.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Diabetology
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Ischemic heart disease (IHD) and type 2 diabetes (D2) are significant risk factors for cardiovascular complications.
- Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common revascularization strategy for these patients.
- Early cardiovascular complications (CVC) after CABG can lead to adverse outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify risk factors for early cardiovascular complications (CVC) following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
- To analyze the association between preoperative patient characteristics and postoperative CVC in patients with IHD and D2.
Main Methods:
- A case-control study included 188 patients with IHD and D2 undergoing off-pump CABG.
- Cardiovascular complications (myocardial infarction, stroke, atrial fibrillation) within 7 days post-surgery were analyzed.
- Multiple stepwise logistic regression was used to determine predictors of CVC.
Main Results:
- Cardiovascular complications occurred in 47 patients (25%).
- Higher Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina class, EuroSCORE II, lower ejection fraction, and reduced glomerular filtration rate were observed in patients with CVC.
- Peripheral artery disease, diurnal glucose variability, and preoperative switch to insulin were identified as significant predictors of CVC.
Conclusions:
- Peripheral artery disease, significant diurnal serum glucose variability, and conversion from oral hypoglycemic agents to insulin are independent predictors of early CVC after off-pump CABG in diabetic patients.
- These findings highlight the importance of optimizing glycemic control and assessing vascular disease severity preoperatively.
Aim:
to determine risk factors of early cardiovascular complications after beating-heart coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with ischemic coronary disease (IHD) and type two diabetes (D2).
Materials And Methods:
We included into this study 188 patients (mean age 59 years, 85.1% men) with IHD and D2 who underwent off-pump CABG. The following cardiovascular complications (CVC) registered within 7 days after surgery were analyzed: myocardial infarction (MI), stroke/transient ischemic attack (S/TIA), atrial fibrillation (AF). The control group of patients without CVC was formed by case-control method. In the study groups we compared IHD severity, coronary angiography, brachiocephalic and peripheral arteries duplex ultrasonography data, blood pressure level, glomerular filtration rate, EuroSCORE II risk, preoperative glycemic parameters and hypoglycemic therapy, as well as CABG volume and severity. Factors associated with postoperative CVC were determined by multiple stepwise logistic regression.
Results And Conclusions:
CVC were registered in 47 patients (MI - in 18, S/TIA - in 2, AF - in 27). As compared with the control group patients with CVC had higher Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina class and EuroSCORE II risk, lower left ventricular ejection fraction and glomerular filtration rate; they more frequently had left main coronary artery involvement, total coronary artery occlusions, carotid and peripheral artery disease. Group of patients with CVC had higher levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, serum glucose and its diurnal variability, as well as higher proportion of patients switched preoperatively from oral hypoglycemic agents to rapid-acting insulin. According to logistic regression most informative predictors of CVC were peripheral artery disease (odds ratio [OR] 3.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.7-7.1), diurnal serum glucose variability on admission day (OR 13.2, 95% CI 5.9-30.0 per 0.1 mmol/l) and the day before surgery (OR 1.3, 95%CI 1.2-2.4 per 0.1 mmol/l), and switching from oral hypoglycemic agents to insulin (OR 2.5, 95%CI 1.2-5.5).
