Outcomes of Femoropopliteal Interventions for Critical Ischemia in the Hemodialysis-Dependent Patient

Hemodialysis patients undergoing femoral-popliteal endovascular interventions for symptomatic disease have a low cumulative patency and clinical efficacy. Although open surgical revascularization has higher perioperative morbidity and a trend toward higher perioperative mortality, it provides a superior 5-year cumulative patency and clinical efficacy and should be considered in this population subgroup.
