What are the short- and long-term outcomes of open-heart surgery in patients with dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease?
Open-heart surgery can be performed with acceptable short- and long-term results in patients with dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease, though advanced heart failure symptoms and urgent operations strongly predict mortality.
Gelsomino et al. (2001) conducted a cohort in End-stage renal disease (n=28). Cardiac surgery was evaluated on 30-day mortality. Cardiac surgery in patients with dialysis-dependent renal insufficiency had a 30-day mortality of 7.1% and a 5-year actuarial survival of 65%.
