Abstract

Recent large clinical trials show lower rates of late cardiovascular events by extending clopidogrel >12 months after percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCI). However, concerns of increased bleeding have elicited support for limiting prolonged treatment to high-risk patients. The aim of this analysis was to determine the effect of prolonging clopidogrel therapy >12 months versus ≤12 months after PCI on very late outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Using the Veterans Health Administration, 28,849 patients undergoing PCI between 2002 and 2006 were categorized into 3 groups: 1) 16,332 without DM; 2) 9,905 with DM treated with oral medications or diet; and 3) 2,612 with DM treated with insulin. Clinical outcomes, stratified by stent type, ≤4 years after PCI were determined from the Veterans Health Administration and Medicare databases and risk was assessed by multivariable and propensity score analyses using a landmark analysis starting 1 year after the index PCI. The primary endpoint of the study was the risk of all-cause death or myocardial infarction (MI). In patients with DM treated with insulin who received drug-eluting stents (DES), prolonged clopidogrel treatment was associated with a decreased risk of de...Continue Reading
