Why the study?
Does hemodialysis status worsen long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing sirolimus-eluting stent implantation?
Population
170 consecutive patients who had undergone successful coronary sirolimus-eluting stent implantation
Comparison
Hemodialysis (HD) (n=18 patients, 27 lesions) vs Non-hemodialysis
Design
Cohort

HD was associated with higher post-stent events; extends risk data but leaves open whether interventions improve outcomes.
Does hemodialysis status worsen long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing sirolimus-eluting stent implantation?
Hemodialysis patients have significantly poorer clinical outcomes and higher rates of target lesion revascularization compared to non-hemodialysis patients after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation.
Sasao et al. (2007) studied this question.
