Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the safety and possibility of coronary intervention in uremic patients on dialysis. Methods Three uremic patients with unstable angina pectoris were treated successfully with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stenting. In order to minimize the adverse effect on kidney due to contrast, non-ionic and low osmolar contrast medium was used and coronary angiography and intervention therapy were performed separately. Further protection of the renal function was effected by more frequent dialysis and increasing fluid administration. Results Coronary contrary shows the stenosis of multiple vessels in one patient, unique vessel lesion in two patients. One to four stents were placed. Clinical follow-up period of 12-18 months after procedure, angina pectoris disappeared in all three patients and no deterioration of renal function was noted. Conclusion It is possible to perform coronary angiography and stenting in uremic patients on hemodialysis successfully and safely, provided due attention was paid to the choice of contrast medium and protective measures for renal function.
