Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Is Superior to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Drug-Eluting Stents for Patients With Chronic Renal Failure on Hemodialysis

Coronary artery bypass grafting was superior to PCI with DES in patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis in terms of long-term outcomes for cardiac death, major adverse cardiac events, and target lesion revascularization. The DES carried a higher risk for sudden death, which might be associated with stent thrombosis.
