Risk of target lesion revascularization after coronary stenting in patients with and without chronic kidney disease

摘要

Background. Rates of restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention with stent placement are high in patients with advanced renal failure. Whether mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a similarly increased need for short or long-term target lesion revascularization (TLR) following coronary stenting is uncertain.
