[Coronary revascularization in uremic diabetic patients under chronic hemodialysis].
Coronary heart disease is the main cause of mortality among uremic patients on chronic hemodialysis (CHD) and is the determinant of the outcome in these cases after renal transplantation, especially in diabetics. In this study we report our experience with two uremic diabetics on CHD with severe coronary artery lesions in whom aortocoronary bypass was performed before renal transplantation. The outcome in the two patients, after 30 and 55 months respectively indicates successful results. We discuss the necessity to perform coronariography in all the high risk patients on CHD, such as diabetics and elderly before planning renal transplantation and achieve aortocoronary bypass surgery in those with severe coronary disease. The technics and difficulties of the surgery in uremics are also analized.
