title: [Cardiosurgical therapy of coronary heart disease in terminal kidney insufficiency].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine retrospectively the complications and long-term results of aortocoronary bypass grafting in patients with end-stage renal disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  65 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and on dialysis (54 men, 11 women; average age 56.9 +/- 8.1 years) underwent aortocoronary bypass grafting between 1982 and 1992. Mean duration of dialysis (haemo- or peritoneal) was 41.1 +/- 45.0 (1-215) months. All patients had had haemofiltration treatment in conjunction with the bypass operation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Coronary angiography demonstrated triple-vessel disease in 40 patients (62%). Average number of bypasses was 2.8 per patient. Perioperative death rate was 4.6%. 95% of survivors were free of symptoms 6 months postoperatively. Long-term survival rate was 71% after 3 years and 55% after 5 years.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Aortocoronary bypass grafting for CHD in patients with end-stage renal disease can be performed with a low perioperative mortality rate and significantly improves symptoms.
