Introduction As percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) technologies have been far improved, we hence conducted an updated systemic review and meta-analysis to determine the comparability between coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and PCI with drug-eluting stent (DES) in ESRD patients. Methods We comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PUBMED and the Cochrane from inception to January 2020. Included studies were published observational studies that compared the risk of cardiovascular outcomes among dialysis patients with CABG and DES. Data from each study were combined using the random-effects, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird to calculate risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression were performed to explore heterogeneity. Results Thirteen studies were included in this analysis, involving total 56 422 (CABG 21 740 and PCI 34 682). Compared with DES, our study demonstrated CABG had higher 30-day mortality [odds ratio (OR) 3.85, P = 0.009] but lower cardiac mortality (OR 0.78, P < 0.001), myocardial infarction (OR 0.5, P < 0.001) and repeat revascularization (OR 0.35, P < 0.001). No statistical differences were found between CABG and DES for long-term mortality (OR 0.92, P = 0.055), composite outcomes (OR 0.88, P = 0.112) and stroke (OR 1.49, P = 0.457). Meta-regression suggested diabetes and the presence of left main coronary artery disease as an effect modifier of long-term mortality. Conclusion PCI with DES shared similar long-term mortality, composite outcomes and stroke outcomes to CABG among dialysis patients but still was associated with an improved 30-day survival . However, CABG had better rates of myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization and cardiac mortality.

Abstract Aim The objective of this meta‐analysis was to compare the effects of off‐pump and on‐pump coronary artery bypass grafting ( CABG ) on acute kidney injury ( AKI ) and the need of dialysis after surgery. Methods Comprehensive literature searches for randomized controlled trials ( RCTs ) of CABG with on‐pump and off‐pump was performed using MEDLINE , EMBASE , C ochrane D atabase of S ystematic R eviews, C ochrane C entral R egister of C ontrolled T rials S ystematic R eviews and clinicaltrials.gov from inception through S eptember 2014. Primary outcomes were the incidence of AKI and the need of dialysis. Mortality was assessed among the studies that reported renal outcomes. Pooled risk ratios ( RR s) and 95% confidence interval ( CI ) were calculated using a random‐effect, generic inverse variance method. Results Thirty‐three RCTs with 17 322 patients were enrolled in our study. Patients in the off‐pump CABG group had overall lower incidence of AKI (19.1%) compared with the on‐pump CABG group (22.2%). There was a protective effect of off‐pump CABG on the incidence of AKI compared with the on‐pump CABG group ( RR : 0.87; 95% CI : 0.77–0.98). However, there was no significant difference in the need for dialysis in the off‐pump group compared with the on‐pump group ( RR : 0.84; 95% CI 0.63–1.13). Within the selected trials, post hoc analysis assessing the mortality outcome demonstrated a pooled RR of 0.97 (95% CI , 0.77–1.23) in off‐pump versus on‐pump CABGs . Conclusions Our study demonstrates a beneficial effect of off‐pump CABG on the incidence of AKI . However, our meta‐analysis does not show benefits of the need of dialysis or survival among patients undergoing off‐pump CABG .
