Intravascular Imaging-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease on Maintenance Dialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Intravascular imaging (IVI)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been shown to result in better clinical outcomes than angiography guidance. Nevertheless, the clinical outcomes of IVI-guided PCI in ESRD patients remain uncertain.

Objectives

This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of OCT- and IVUS-guided PCIs in ESRD patients and to report the trend of IVI-guided PCI in Taiwan.

Methods

Patients with ESRD on maintenance dialysis, who underwent OCT- or IVUS-guided PCI from 2015 to 2021, were compared by propensity-score matching. The primary outcome was composite cardi
