Nephsap review: Chronic Kidney Disease : CKD patients are more likely to have proximal coronary lesions???

Did you know that patients with CKD are more likely to have proximal coronary lesions on coronary angiography? This is well summarized in Charytan,et al study in KI 2008. This is in comparison to distal lesions
the pathogenic mechanism behind it might the time that is not enough to form collaterals, uremic mileau, and perhaps other unknown reasons.
