NCT01016509

Brief Summary

A multicentric study will evaluate whether peri-procedural tight glycemic control during angioplasty revascularization for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) reduces circulating inflammatory cytokines and thrombus formation in hyperglycaemic patients. Moreover, the investigators will assess whether the tight glycemic control during the first month from coronary event reduces the incidence of coronary stent restenosis at 6-months from PCI.

Interventions

Insulin infusion will be started when blood glucose levels exceeded 140 mg/dl and adjusted to maintain glycemia at 80-140 mg/dl. During insulin infusion, oral feeding will be stopped and parenteral nutrition (13±5 Kcal/kg-1/day-1) will be started. After the start of insulin infusion protocol a glycemic control will be provided every hour in order to obtain three consecutive values that were within the goal range. The infusion will be lasted until stable glycemic goal (80-140 mg/dl) at least for 24 h. After glycemic goal will be maintained for 24 h, a parenteral nutrition was stopped and feeding will be started according to European guidelines. Subcutaneous insulin will be initiated at the cessation of the infusion. After discharge from the hospital, insulin will be given as short-acting insulin before meals and long-acting insulin in the evening for 30 days from PCI. The treatment goal will be a fasting blood glucose level of 90-140 mg/dl and a non-fasting level of \<180 mg/dl.
