Mortality and Graft Failure With Medical Management Alone Versus Revascularization After Coronary Angiography Among Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are limited data on the outcomes following medical management alone versus revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] or coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]) after coronary angiography in kidney transplant recipients.

Objective

The objective was to compare survival and graft loss in kidney transplant recipients treated with medical therapy alone versus coronary revascularization following coronary angiography.

Design

We conducted a retrospective, population-based cohort study using linked health care databases.

Setting

This study was conducted in Alberta, Canada.

Patients

We included adult, kidney-only transplant recipients between January 1997 and March 2015 who survived at least 1-year post-transplant with a functio
