Adverse impact of chronic kidney disease on clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract

Aims: We aimed to assess the impact of the severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We analyzed data on consecutive patients undergoing PCI enrolled in the Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (VCOR) from January 2014 to December 2018. Patients were stratified into tertiles of renal function; estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) ≥60, 30–59 and < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 (including dialysis). The primary outcome was long-term all-cause mortality obtained from linkage with the Australian National Death Index (NDI). The secondary endpoint was a composite of 30 day major adverse cardiac and cereb..
