Abstract

Accelerated atherosclerosis, coupled with several nontraditional risk factors increases coronary artery disease (CAD) burden in patients with all stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Given the complex anatomy, heavy calcific burden, and the brittle bleeding–clotting paradigm in CKD, post-percutaneous coronary interventional outcomes remain inferior in CKD compared to patients with preserved renal function. This chapter will review various aspects of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with CAD and CKD, including outcomes of bare-metal (BMS) versus drug-eluting stents (DES), duration and type of dual antiplatelet therapy, and timing and complications of PCI.
