Long-term clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention to treat long lesions in hemodialysis patients in the era of second-generation drug-eluting stents.

CONCLUSIONS: Clinical outcomes of PCI for long lesions in hemodialysis patients were similar to that of non-long lesions. Long-stenting in hemodialysis patients, who were considered high-risk subset of adverse cardiovascular events, might be acceptable in the second-generation DES era.
