Survival and Long-Term Cardiovascular Outcomes after Carotid Endarterectomy in Patients with Chronic Renal Insufficiency

摘要

Background: Multiple studies have evaluated the perioperative outcomes of patients with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA), generally indicating worse survival and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, although not consistently and with a paucity of long-term data. The present study addresses the perioperative and long-term impact of CRI on CV events and survival after CEA.
