Predialysis coronary revascularization and postdialysis mortality

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with better survival than percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the optimal strategy for coronary artery revascularization in patients with advanced CKD who transition to ESRD is unclear.
