Women with diabetes and coronary artery disease who undergo revascularization have a higher risk of restenosis due to the pathophysiological alterations at vascular level inherent to diabetes, to the decrease of the protective effect of estrogens after menopause and to the caliber of their arteries being smaller than women without diabetes or men. The goal of this study is to compare the rate of restenosis in anterior descending coronary artery in women with diabetes who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and the stent, compared to revascularization surgery. For that a literature review was carried out using medical articles published in scientific databases where both techniques were compared, and focusing on female population with diabetes. Results showed there was an advantage for the revascularization surgery versus percutaneous coronary intervention in the revascularization events of the target lesion (OR 0.253, IC 95% 0.092-0.703, p = 0.008) and revascularization of the target vessel (OR 0.185, 95% CI 0.079 a 0.432, p <0.001), corresponding to an advantage in the presentation of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (OR 0.429, CI 95% 0.254-0.723, p = 0.001). Finally, a critical analysis was conducted, thus concluding that revascularization is the chosen technique for female patients with diabetes because of the lower restenosis rate, avoiding its adverse events.
