Popis: BackgroundIncreasing evidence suggests that insulin resistance is linked to cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index has proven to be a convincing marker to quantitatively evaluate insulin resistance. However, there is no relevant information about the relationship between the TyG index and restenosis after carotid artery stenting.MethodsA total of 218 patients were enrolled. Carotid ultrasound and computed tomography angiography were used to evaluate in-stent restenosis. A Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox regression method were performed to analyze the correlation between TyG index and restenosis. Schoenfeld residuals were used to determine the proportional-hazards assumption. A restricted cubic spline method was used to model and visualize the dose–response relationship between the TyG index and the risk of in-stent restenosis. Subgroup analysis was also performed.ResultsThirty-one participants (14.2%) developed restenosis. The preoperative TyG index had a time-varying effect on restenosis. Within 29 months post-surgery, an increasing preoperative TyG index was linked to a significant increased risk of restenosis (hazard ratio: 4.347; 95% confidence interval 1.886–10.023). However, after 29 months, the effect was decreased, although not statistically significant. The subgroup analysis showed that the hazard ratios tended to be higher in the age ≤ 71 years subgroup (p
