“…11,12 Diabetic patients have a higher risk of complications and a worse prognosis than nondiabetic subjects during coronary interventions. 13 The higher prevalence of multivessel and complex Type C lesions noted in the present study could be a factor contributing to this less favorable outcome. The more severe and extensive coronary artery lesions, and poorer collateral circulation in diabetic patients reported in another study 14 may have contributed to the less favorable clinical outcomes of this patient population.…”

“…Moreover, diabetic patients are known to have increased severity of atherosclerosis as well as higher rates for multivessel disease and more complex lesions such Comparison between intermediate SYNTAX score tertile and high SYNTAX score tertile; CVD -cerebrovascular disease; PAD -peripheral artery disease; WBC -white blood cell; LDL-C -low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C -high--density lipoprotein-cholesterol as long lesions, bifurcation lesions, and diffuse small vessel disease [16,17]. Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated that HT, smoking, and dyslipidaemia are associated with the complexity of atherosclerosis [18][19][20].…”

“…In diabetic patients, even without preclinical or clinical atherosclerosis, endothelial function is already disturbed 19). Also, the prevalence of complex coronary lesions, such as bifurcation lesions, is more than two fold higher in diabetic patients 20). In addition, despite intervention with stents, diabetic patients have a greater than three times higher risk of stent thrombosis and major adverse cardiac events 21).…”
