Prior research has revealed poorer clinical outcomes after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for hemodialysis patients. This study aims to investigate the long-term clinical and angiographic outcomes after new-generation DES implantation for hemodialysis patients.We retrospectively enrolled 91 consecutive patients (118 lesions) who underwent successful new-generation DES (everolimus-, zotarolimus-, and biolimus-eluting stents) implantation for the first time. We measured the serum calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood samples obtained just before hemodialysis. The follow-up period of clinical events was, at least, 1.5 years. In this study, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and clinically driven target lesion revascularization were reported in 36 (39.6%) and 11 (12.1%) patients, respectively. The prevalence of peripheral artery disease was significantly higher in the MACCE group (41.7% versus 14.5%, P = 0.006). The serum calcium level was significantly higher in the MACCE group (9.34 ± 0.92 mg/dL versus 8.77 ± 0.88 mg/dL; P = 0.004). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model revealed that the serum calcium level (hazard ratio, 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.26-2.77; P = 0.002), suboptimal (over 55 mg 2 /dL 2 ) calcium-phosphorus product (hazard ratio, 3.27; 95% CI: 1.41-7.61; P = 0.006) and the coexistence of peripheral artery disease (hazard ratio, 3.15; 95% CI: 1.49-6.65; P = 0.003) were independent predictors of MACCE.For hemodialysis patients, MACCE remains a frequent occurrence after new-generation DES implantation and is associated with calcium-phosphate metabolism and peripheral artery disease.
