Implication

May support surgical referral in symptomatic dialysis patients; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of benefit.

Structured PICO

Population

40 patients receiving dialysis undergoing cardiac surgery, mean age 55.7 (range 31-71) years. Preoperative NYHA classes II (5%), III (52.2%) and IV (42.5%).

Intervention

Cardiac surgery (CABG [n=20], aortic valve replacement [n=6], mitral valve replacement [n=4], combined procedures [n=4], heart/renal transplantation [n=2], ASD closure [n=1], pericardial decortication [n=3])

Outcome

Operative mortality and actuarial survival rates at 1 and 5 yearshard clinical

Cardiac surgery in dialysis patients carries an acceptable hospital mortality and improves long-term quality of life, supporting surgical intervention in symptomatic patients.
