Abstract:
In patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis for a long period, arteriosclerosis progresses rapidly, and the incidence of ischemic heart diseases is high. We performed coronary artery revascularization in a patient with chronic renal failure complicated by angina pectoris in whom discontinuation of dialysis was sometimes needed for hypotension during dialysis. Her postoperative course was uneventful. Problems in intra and postoperative management of dialysis patients are reported.
