Different association between renal dysfunction and clinical outcomes according to the presence of diabetes in patients undergoing endovascular treatment for peripheral artery disease

Although chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes are important prognostic factors in patients with peripheral artery disease, there are limited data regarding the outcomes of endovascular treatment (EVT) according to the severity of CKD, especially in the presence of diabetes. This study sought to compare clinical outcomes of lower limb EVT between patients with and patients without CKD according to the presence of diabetes. Patients were enrolled from the Korean multicenter EVT registry and were divided according to the presence of diabetes, then further stratified by CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate
