Does coronary artery bypass surgery improve symptoms and survival in chronic renal failure patients maintained on peritoneal dialysis?
Coronary artery bypass surgery can be successfully performed to improve symptoms in patients with chronic renal failure maintained on peritoneal dialysis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports CABG feasibility in PD patients with IHD; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
McNamee et al. (1986) conducted a case report in Chronic renal failure with severe symptomatic ischemic heart disease (n=5). Coronary artery bypass surgery was evaluated on Survival and symptom improvement. Coronary artery bypass surgery in five peritoneal dialysis patients with severe ischemic heart disease resulted in survival and substantial symptom improvement in four patients (80%).
