Predictors of 2-Year Mortality and Risk Stratification After Surgical or Endovascular Revascularization of Infrainguinal Artery Disease in Hemodialysis Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia

Conclusion: Advanced age, low albumin level, and low ejection fraction were independently associated with 2-year mortality after revascularization in HD patients with CLI. Risk stratification by these factors would be useful for deciding on a revascularization strategy.
