Effect of chronic kidney disease on outcomes after carotid artery stenting

Received 30 April 2004; received in revised form 25 June 2004; accepted 25 June 2004.

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.
