Patients who had an occlusion in at least 1 major coronary artery were included in this study. Patients with severely and moderately decreased GFR were excluded. Patient data were obtained from their files. To classify CCC, we used the Rentrop classification. Patients were classified as having poor CCC (Rentrop grades 0 to 1) or good CCC (Rentrop grades 2 to 3). We used the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation to calculate GFR. Mildly decreased GFR was defined as 60 m L/min per 1.73 m2 ≥ e GFR ≤89 m L/min per 1.73 m2 according to the MDRD definition. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent variables.
