Abstract
Background and Aims: The outcomes of Chinese patients undergoing dialysis after coronary revascularization are unknown. We examined the outcomes of Taiwanese dialysis patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), or coronary stenting. Methods: Using data from the National Health Research Institute database, we determined the outcomes of 1,287 dialysis patients who underwent initial coronary revascularization between 1997 and2008. Results: The 7-year overall survival rates were 69 ± 4%, 68 ± 3%, and 57 ± 2% for the CABG, stent, and PTCA patients (p= 0.001), respectively. After demographic and comorbidity adjustment, hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause death in the CABG (vs. PTCA) and stent (vs. PTCA) patients were 0.695 (p= 0.015) and 0.721 (p= 0.009). Additionally, no significant difference in all-cause death was found between the CABG and stent patients. Moreover, the ≥65-year-old CABG group patients and the
