PURPOSE: The rationale of this study was to determine whether insulin resistance is an independent risk factor for restenosis after coronary stenting. BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggested that hyperinsulinemia may be an important risk factor for ischemic heart disease. Restenosis after coronary stenting is neointimal tissue proliferation and de-novo stenosis is atherosclerosis from the point of view of histology. However, it has not been determined whether insulin resistance is independently related to restenosis after coronary stenting. METHODS: Clinical variables of unselected population of 110 patients were analyzed in multivariate logistic regression analyses for both restenosis and de-novo stenosis. Clinical, lesion-related, and procedural variables were analyzed by chi-square analysis, and relative risk. RESULTS: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and HbA1c were associated with restenosis after coronary stenting (HOMA-IR; P=0.0447, HbA1c; P=0.0462), and HbA1c and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were associated with de-novo stenosis (HbA1c; P=0.0201, LDL-C; P=0.0204). Restenosis was influenced by insulin resistance [Relative Risk (RR) 2.06; 95 percent confidence interval (95%CI) 1.20 to 3.56], diabetes mellitus (DM: RR 1.92; 95%CI 1.25 to 2.95), and final minimal lumen diameter (RR 2.83; 95%CI 1.32 to 6.06). CONCLUSIONS: HOMA-IR and DM are the predictors of restenosis after coronary stenting, and HbA1c and LDL-C are the predictors of de-novo stenosis. These results may be reflected in histological differences between neointimal tissue proliferation as restenosis and atherosclerosis as de-novo stenosis.
