Effectiveness of percutaneous coronary interventions to prevent recurrent coronary events in patients on chronic hemodialysis.
Patients on chronic hemodialysis undergoing percutaneous coronary revascularization have similar rates of procedural success and in-hospital event rates when compared with a matched cohort. However, patients on chronic hemodialysis have a marked increase in 36-month target vessel revascularization, myocardial infarction, and death rates.
