Key result
In dialysis-dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery, the in-hospital mortality rate was 11.1% and 1-year survival was 77.8%, with all early deaths occurring after urgent or emergent procedures.

What are the clinical outcomes and survival rates of dialysis-dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Cardiac surgery, particularly CABG, carries an acceptable risk in dialysis-dependent patients, with better outcomes achieved when surgery is timed early before the onset of heart failure symptoms.
May inform risk discussions for urgent procedures in dialysis patients; leaves open prospective validation of timing strategies.

Klváček et al. (2015) conducted an observational in End-stage renal disease requiring cardiac surgery (n=36). Cardiac surgery was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. In dialysis-dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery, the in-hospital mortality rate was 11.1% and 1-year survival was 77.8%, with all early deaths occurring after urgent or emergent procedures.
