Blood Glucose Management
Newly diagnosed type 2 DM patients without standard antidiabetic treatments before the onset of IMHB were included. The target blood glucose level included proper blood glucose levels during fasting and premeal states (80-130 mg/dL) and the postprandial state (less than 180 mg/dL) [7] . After TEVAR or open surgery, patients with persistently elevated serum glucose levels (> 180 mg/dL) received continuous intravenous insulin perfusion to maintain a serum glucose level < 180 mg/dL during their stay in the intensive care unit [7] .
