  Background: The influence of hemodialysis (HD) on limb salvage and survival in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) has been reported. However, whether severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) may increase the risk of outcomes in patients with PAD undergoing endovascular revascularization is unknown. In this present study, we evaluated the influence of CKD grade on outcomes, including amputation-free survival (AFS) and major adverse limb events (MALEs) + 30-day perioperative death (POD), after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with PAD. Methods: Only patients with primary intervention were included. The eGFR was calculated automatic for each patient and patients were then stratified into two groups for comparative analysis: those with severe CKD (classes 4 and 5; eGFR <30) vs. those with lesser degrees of low-grade CKD (eGFR ≥ ..
