    AbstractPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment significantly improves outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It remains unclear whether the benefits of PCI exist in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The present study was designed to investigate the effects of PCI on the short- and long-term prognosis of patients with ESRD and NSTEMI. We conducted a retrospective study from 1 January 2015 to 1 January 2020, which includes 148 consecutive patients with ESRD and NSTEMI. All patients were estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 and had received regular hemodialysis treatment before hospitalization. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors for in-hospital mortality. Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify independent predictors of 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACE). In this study, 62 patients received PCI treatment. Univariable logistic regression analysis showed that PCI treatment was associated with the trend of reduction in the risk of in-hospital mortality (11.3% vs 43%, P = 0.022), but was not independently related to lower in-hospital mortality risk after multivariable logistic regression analysis (P = 0.131). After a 1-year follow-up, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that MACE rate was significantly lower in patients with ESRD and NSTEMI who had received PCI treatment during hospitalization (P < 0.001). After multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, no PCI treatment was independently associated with 1-year MACE (hazard ratios 3.217, 95% CI 2.03-8.489, P = 0.003). PCI treatment during hospitalization is associated with reduced 1-year MACE in patients with ESRD and NSTEMI, which suggests that more aggressive therapies may be beneficial for this special higher risk population.© 2022.
