Summary
Aggressive intraoperative and postoperative management of blood glucose may substantially
decrease perioperative cardiovascular and infectious complications in diabetic and
non-diabetic patients undergoing vascular surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare the tight versus traditional blood glucose control in
diabetics and non-diabetics undergoing vascular surgery in regard to their postoperative
fatal and nonfatal cardiac outcomes, and the secondary effects such as rate of infections,
overall morbidity and 30-day mortality.
