Intravascular Imaging in Patients With Complex Coronary Lesions and Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

As patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are more likely to have complex coronary lesions, intravascular imaging guidance in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for this population could be potentially beneficial.

Objectives

To investigate whether the outcomes of intravascular imaging-guided procedural optimization would be different according to the presence of CKD.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a prespecified substudy of RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI, a recently published multicenter randomized clinical trial in Korea studying the benefits of intravascular imaging for complex coronary lesions. Patients with complex coronary lesions, with or without CKD, were enrolled between May 2018 and May 2021. Data were analyzed from January to June 2023
