Description
Summary:Objective To assess the rate of angiographic restenosis in patients with end stage renal disease after elective coronary angioplasty. Design A retrospective case-control study of 20 patients with end stage renal disease and 20 sex and age matched controls without renal disease, who had undergone primarily successful coronary angioplasty. Control coronary angiography was performed regardless of worsening or renewed incidence of anginal symptoms. Main outcome measures Group comparison of coronary morphology, as evaluated by quantitative coronary angiography, and of cardiovascular risk factors. Results The rate of angiographic restenosis was 60% in patients with renal disease and 35% in controls. In patients with end stage renal disease the following differences (mean (SD) were found versus controls: raised plasma fibrinogen (483 (101)v 326 (62) mg/dl, p
