From Risk Identification to Risk Modification in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease Undergoing Rotational Atherectomy.

Paper B Peer reviewed Small trial

Key takeaways

A study of 10 patients with kidney disease and heart-related artery blockages was corrected. It found that using a rotating wire to clear arteries in the kidney-damaged group led to more heart attacks than the control group. This study was small: 10 patients, and results were measured over 6 months.
