Optimal treatment strategies for coronary artery disease in patients with advanced kidney disease: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in advanced kidney disease. However, its best treatment has not been determined.

Methods

We searched PubMed and Cochrane databases and scanned references to related articles.

Results
