Comparison of Primary End Points According to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
vessel failure, CKD, diabetes
HYPERTENSION, DYSLIPIDEMIA, ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME, DIABETES
A, The Kaplan-Meier curve shows the cumulative incidence of target vessel failure in patients with (orange line) or without (blue line) CKD who underwent complex percutaneous coronary intervention. B, Continuous association of GFR with cumulative hazard of the target vessel failure is presented. Adjusted variables included age over 70 years, sex, acute coronary syndrome, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, history of percutaneous coronary intervention, left ventricular systolic ejection fraction below 40%, and number of diseased vessels.Among the CKD population, the primary end point occurred in 22 of 203 patients in the intravascular imaging–guided group and 19 of 93 patients in the angiography-guided group (13.3% vs 23.3%; HR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.27-0.93;
