Outcomes of dialysis patients with critical limb ischemia after revascularization compared with patients with normal renal function

Two-year AFS, overall survival, and freedom from major amputation were decreased in ESRD patients compared with non-ESRD patients with critical limb ischemia. Cardiovascular comorbidities were without significant impact on outcome parameters, whereas choice of treatment modality within the ESRD group did not influence AFS. Decision-making in ESRD as to choice of therapeutic approach in dialysis patients should notably account for the individual's lesion characteristics and vascular disease; surgical revascularization and EVT may be used as complementary options.
