SGLT-2 Inhibitors in Prevention of Post-procedural Renal and Cardiovascular Complications aFter PCI Among Patients With Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Artery Disease: a Prospective, Randomized, Pilot Study (SAFE-PCI)

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-12-01

Summary

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) have higher risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) and renal disfunction. The Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (iSGLT2) reduces hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 DM and have multiple metabolic effects, lowering primary composite cardiovascular outcomes and progression to renal failure. 25% of patients with Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD) undergoing PCI are diabetics being one of the most prevalent and important risk factors for the development of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN). The occurence of CIN is associated with higher rates of death, loss of renal function, necessity of dialysis and increase of health care costs. In this pilot study we sought to evaluate if the iSGLT2 would prevent periprocedural complications - such as periprocedural CIN and MI - in type 2 DM patients undergoing PCI through the assessment of renal and myocardial biomarkers
