Myocardial Revascularization in Stable Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with and without Diabetes

In chronic stable angina management, percutaneous or surgical revascularization could be adopted in addition to optimum medical treatment. Choice of the most suitable and beneficial strategies usually depends on appropriate clinical judgment, meticulous assessment by different contemporary investigatory tools and patient preference. In this review, we address the impact of contemporary investigatory and treatment equipment such as pressure wire, intravascular imaging, myocardial perfusion scans, cardiac magnetic resonance and new generations of drug eluting stents, on the outcome of myocardial revascularization among variable stable coronary artery disease patients’ profiles; old age, multi-vessel, left main disease and diabetic patients.
