Popis: The medical charts of 54 patients on maintenance dialysis who underwent cardiovascular surgery (37 elective and 17 urgent/emergency) from 1994 to 2004 were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty patients had coronary artery bypass grafting (17 elective and 13 urgent/emergency), 18 had valve replacement (16 elective and 2 urgent/emergency), and 6 underwent aortic surgery (4 elective and 2 urgent/emergency). The overall early mortality rate was 11.1%, comprising 2 patients (5.4%) who had elective operations and 4 (23.5%) who had urgent or emergency operations ( p = 0.049). The overall 5-year survival rate was 48.4%. The 5-year survival rate was 67.2% for elective surgery and 10.5% for urgent/emergency surgery ( p = 0.0001). The midterm clinical results after elective cardiovascular surgery were acceptable, whereas the results after urgent/emergency surgery were poor. For elective surgery, sufficient and detailed preoperative examinations might have contributed to the better operative outcome. Early diagnosis and consultation to avoid urgent/emergency operations in dialysis patients is recommended.
