Title: Safety and efficacy of glucose-insulin-potassium treatment in coronary artery bypass graft surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention. Author: Ali-Hassan-Sayegh S, Mirhosseini SJ, Zeriouh M, Dehghan AM, Shahidzadeh A, Karimi-Bondarabadi AA, Sabashnikov A, Popov AF. Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2015 Nov; 21(5):667-76. PubMed ID: 26265069. Abstract: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate protective effects of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) on outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We systematically searched Medline/Pubmed, Elsevier, Embase, Web of Knowledge and Google Scholar. A total of 1206 studies were retrieved during the extensive literature search of all major databases; however, 38 trials reporting the end-point of interest were selected. We performed a pooled analysis of outcomes following PCI: incidence of cardiac arrest [odds ratio (OR) of 0.91; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76-1.09; P = 0.3], stroke (OR of 1.71; 95% CI: 0.37-1.37; P = 0.3), cardiogenic shock (OR of 1.02; 95% CI: 0.92-1.14; P = 0.6), reinfarction (OR of 0.95; 95% CI: 0.81-1.14; P = 0.5) and mortality (OR of 1.04; 95% CI: 0.96-1.13; P = 0.3); and following CABG: incidence of atrial fibrillation (OR of 0.86; 95% CI: 0.70-1.05; P = 0.1), incidence of ventricular fibrillation (OR of 0.83; 95% CI: 0.62-1.13; P = 0.2), reinfarction (OR of 0.97; 95% CI: 0.74-1.27; P = 0.8), infection (OR of 1.04; 95% CI: 0.67-1.62; P = 0.8), length of intensive care unit stay (LIS) [standard mean differences (SMD) of -0.27; 95% CI: -0.40 to -0.14; P = 0.000], length of hospital stay (LHS) (SMD of -0.035; 95% CI: -0.12 to -0.05; P = 0.4) and mortality (OR of 0.72; 95% CI: 0.41-1.26; P = 0.2). Our results showed that GIK did not have considerable cardioprotective effects. However, patients undergoing CABG seem to be better responders to GIK therapy compared with patients undergoing PCI. Furthermore, in contrast to CABG, GIK therapy in patients undergoing PCI might be associated with more complications rather than protective effects.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
