title: Increased incidence of coronary in-stent restenosis in type 2 diabetic patients is related to elevated serum malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been reported as a major risk factor for in-stent restenosis (ISR) after intracoronary stenting, although the details of the mechanisms remain undefined. The aim of present study was to investigate the diabetes-related risk factor for ISR.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 131 patients who were implanted with bare metal stent(s) were enrolled in this study. Based on follow-up coronary angiography at 6 months after stenting, the patients were classified according to the presence or absence of ISR. Various coronary risk factors, including serum malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) levels, were investigated at follow-up angiogram to relate to ISR in patients with or without T2DM. The increased incidence of ISR was observed in diabetic patients, which was significantly related to the increased serum MDA-LDL concentrations. The serum MDA-LDL concentration was positively correlated to glycohemoglobin levels in diabetic patients. In addition, MDA-LDL concentration was not altered after the treatment of ISR.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The elevated serum MDA-LDL level is considered to be a potent risk factor for ISR in diabetic patients. MDA-LDL, which might be a consequence of metabolic abnormalities caused by diabetes, may act as a growth factor for neointimal tissues inside the implanted stent.
