چکیده

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) with an estimated glomerular filtration rate 60 ml/min is seen in over 30% of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (1). The prevalence of CKD continues to rise, in part because of increasing diabetes and hypertension (2). In patients undergoing PCI for either stable coronary artery disease or acute myocardial infarction, CKD is one of the strongest risk factors for shortand long-term mortality (1,3).

These patients should be subject to aggressive risk-factor modification. However, management of coronary artery disease in patients with CKD can be uniquely challenging. Many of the medications used in the treatment and prevention of coronary artery disease...

Mode of Coronary Revascularization and Short term Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are two alternative methods for coronary revascularization, but it remains controversial as which one is associated with lower risks of worse clinical outcomes for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We determined the mode of coronary revascularization (PCI vs. CABG) which is ass...

No-Reflow Phenomenon in Patients with ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction, Treated with Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Study of Predictive Factors

  Introduction: No-reflow phenomenon in coronary vessels, manifested in some patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI), is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. Therefore, evaluation of predisposing risk factors can be helpful in risk assessment and identification of patients at higher risk. Herein, we aimed to study the predictive factors for the development of...
