RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of hemodialysis (HD) patients complicated with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) of lower extremity,and to discuss the factors that influence the curative prognosis of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).Methods The clinical data of 211 patients with ASO of lower extremity receiving HD or not receiving HD,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from January 2008 to October 2015,were retrospectively analyzed.PTA was successfully accomplished in all patients.Results The median follow-up time was 2.24 years.Theamputation-free survival of HD group was significantly lower than that of non-HD group (P＜0.000 1),and the postoperative artery patency rate of HD group was also obviously lower than that of non-HD group (P＜0.000 4).The factors influencing the survival rate without amputation of the two groups were different.The independent influence factor in HD group was diabetes mellitus,while in non-HD group the independent influence factors were Fontaine stage and hyperlipidemia.The infection mortality of HD group was 55.5％ (10/18),which was higher than 22.2％(6/26) of non-HD group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion In treating ASO of lower extremity,the curative effect of PTA is poorer in HD patients than in non-HD patients,and the presence of diabetes mellitus may be an independent factor influencing prognosis.
