“…Our results agree with published data describing a relationship between greater neointimal index area (not measured with IVUS as in our study) and IR (16). Other studies also described a relationship between restenosis and IR, but in most of them diabetic patients were excluded and no IVUS measurements were performed (13,15,31). In the only published study in which diabetic patients were included and a direct relationship between plasma insulin levels and restenosis was described, IVUS was not used, and, unexpectedly, QCA parameters related to vessel diameter were not considered to be predictors of restenosis (14).…”

“…In addition, a role of IR in the development of restenosis after coronary stenting has also been suggested [63,64]. Therefore, this concept is analogous to the previously proposed hypothesis suggestive of the mechanisms other than ADMA being a correlate of more severe coronary atherosclerosis as an explanation of the well-recognized ability of ADMA to predict adverse outcome in CAD [7-10,14].…”

“…Furthermore, the incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is increased in MS patients with normal glucose tolerance, where the number of diseased coronary arteries found by coronary angiography correlated independently with indices of insulin resistances [11]. Similarly, insulin resistance predicts restenosis after coronary artery stent placement in nondiabetic patients [12]. The incidence of acute ischemic events (myocardial infarction [MI], stroke or MI/stroke) is increased by the MS [8].…”
