Nationwide Trends in Hospital Outcomes and Utilization After Lower Limb Revascularization in Patients on Hemodialysis

Conclusions
Rates of endovascular procedures have increased, whereas those of surgeries have decreased. Surgical revascularization is associated with higher odds of overall complications. Further prospective studies and clinical trials are required to analyze the relationship between the severity of PAD and the revascularization strategy chosen.
