CABG may be preferred over PCI in dialysis CAD; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
What is the optimal therapy for coronary artery disease in dialysis patients?
Optimal management of CAD in dialysis patients remains unclear, though retrospective data suggest CABG may offer lower long-term mortality and fewer complications than PCI.
Chou et al. (2013) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease in dialysis patients. Coronary artery bypass surgery vs. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty was evaluated on Long-term mortality and postoperative cardiac complications. Coronary artery bypass surgery was associated with lower long-term mortality and fewer postoperative cardiac complications than percutaneous coronary angioplasty in dialysis patients with CAD.
