Background


Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a high prevalence of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to characterize outcomes after CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients without or with DM.

Methods


PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were queried for studies comparing non-DM vs. DM patients undergoing CTO PCI. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at longest follow-up (at least 6 months). Secondary outcomes were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), target vessel revascularization (TVR), cardiac mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), and bypass surgery. We used a random effects model to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results


Thirteen studies with 11,064 patients met inclusion criteria (non-DM 7525, DM 3539). At longest follow-up, all-cause- mortality (OR 0.54 [0.37-0.80], p<0.0001) and MACE (OR 0.82 [0.72-0.93], p< 0.00001) were significantly lower in non-DM CTO patients (Figure). However, there were no differences in cardiac mortality, MI, TVR, or bypass surgery.

Conclusions


Non-diabetics undergoing CTO PCI have lower all-cause mortality and MACE than diabetics. Future research may determine if DM control improves diabetics' CTO PCI outcomes.
