Supports PCI consideration in NSTEMI across CKD stages; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for RCTs.
Does percutaneous coronary intervention reduce all-cause in-hospital mortality in patients with NSTEMI and chronic kidney disease compared to conservative management?
PCI is associated with significantly lower in-hospital mortality compared to conservative management in NSTEMI patients across all stages of CKD, despite being underutilized in this population.
