Effect of chronic kidney disease on outcomes after carotid artery stenting

Am J Cardiol. 2004 Oct 15;94(8):1093-6. doi: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2004.06.078.

Abstract

We performed a single-center retrospective analysis evaluating the effect of chronic kidney disease among patients who underwent carotid artery stenting. The presence of chronic kidney disease is associated with higher periprocedural and 6-month death, stroke, or myocardial infarction after carotid artery stenting.
