Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To examine the impact of revascularization and associated clinical outcomes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) chronic total occlusion (CTO) and non-CKD CTO groups. BACKGROUND: The influence of CKD on clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CTO lesions is unknown, and there is no systemic review of this topic to date. METHODS: according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. Data included demographics, lesion distributions, incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), acute kidney injury (AKI), procedural success rate, mortality, and target lesion revascularization (TLR)/target vessel revascularization (TVR). RESULTS: Six studies were ultimately included in this systematic review. A high prevalence (25.5%; range, 19.6-37.9%) of CKD was noted in the CTO population. In the non-CKD group, outcomes were better: less incidence of CIN or AKI (odds ratio (OR), 2.860; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.775-4.608), higher procedural success rate (OR, 1.382; 95% CI, 1.036-1.843), and lower long-term mortality (OR, 4.502; 95% CI, 3.561-5.693). The incidence of TLR/TVR (OR, 1.118; 95% CI, 0.888-1.407) did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS: In the CKD CTO PCI population, a lower procedural success rate, a higher incidence of CIN or AKI, and higher in-hospital and long-term mortality rate were noted due to more complex lesions and more comorbidities. However, the incidence of TLR/TVR did not differ between groups.
