Chronic kidney disease and outcomes of lower extremity revascularization for peripheral artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Renal disease is a risk factor for peripheral artery disease (PAD), yet its impact on outcomes after lower extremity (LE) revascularization is not well established. We aimed to characterize the association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or end stage renal disease (ESRD) and post-procedural outcomes in PAD patients undergoing LE revascularization in the United States.

Methods

Adults age ≥18 years undergoing surgical or endovascular LE revascularization for PAD with and without CKD or ESRD were identified from the 2014 Nationwide Readmissions Database. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of death, myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke, were identified for patients with and without renal disease.
