Coronary artery lesion distribution in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine the location of coronary atherosclerosis distribution observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted using the database of cardiovascular medicine data from Saitama Sekishinkai Hospital to clarify the association between renal function and angiographic characteristics of coronary atherosclerosis. In total, 3268 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention were included. Propensity score matching revised the total to 1772. The association of renal function with the location and/or distribution of coronary atherosclerosis lesions was then examined.

Results

Overall, coronary lesion was observed in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in 56% patients, whereas 28% and 22%
