Background:Elevated serum phosphorus level is an important risk factor for cardiovascular death in general patients on hemodialysis (HD). However, the effect of serum phosphorus levels on outcomes after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in HD patients is unknown.
Methods and Results:This was a post-hoc study of the OUCH study series, a series of prospective multicenter registries of HD patients who underwent DES implantation comprising 359 patients from 31 centers in Japan. Patients were categorized into 3 groups according to their preprocedural serum phosphorus levels. The 1-year clinical outcomes of the 336 patients treated for de novo lesions were evaluated. Compared with patients with high (>5.5 mg/dL; n=65) or normal (3.5–5.5 mg/dL; n=219) serum phosphorus levels, those with low serum phosphorus levels (<3.5 mg/dL; n=52) had significantly fewer target lesion revascularization events (13.9% vs. 16.9% vs. 1.9%; P=0.0090) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (29.2% vs. 31.1% vs. 13.5%; P=0.032). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that low serum phosphorus level was an independent negative predictor for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (adjusted odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.12–0.70; P=0.0036).
Conclusions:Lowering of serum phosphorus levels beyond the current recommended range may be considered in HD patients who undergo DES implantation.
