Coronary revascularization in Patients with renal insufficiency: Restenosis rate and cardiovascular outcomes

Several interventional trials have shown a lower success rate for coronary angioplasty and lower long-term event-free survival in patients with renal insufficiency, and data are conflicting about restenosis after coronary angioplasty. This study included 4,131 consecutive patients with coronary arte...

Zusammenfassung:Several interventional trials have shown a lower success rate for coronary angioplasty and lower long-term event-free survival in patients with renal insufficiency, and data are conflicting about restenosis after coronary angioplasty. This study included 4,131 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease treated with coronary angioplasty (23%) or stenting (77%). Renal insufficiency is defined as a creatinine clearance (CrCl) less than 60 mL/min (
