Coronary Revascularization in Chronic and End-Stage Renal Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis have an increased risk for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity secondary to occlusive coronary artery disease. Optimal revascularization strategy is unclear in this high-risk population. We have performed a meta-analysis to compare coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ESRD and CKD. We searched PubMed, Ovid, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE (1980–2013) and found 17 trials (N = 33,584) in the ESRD arm and 6 studies (n = 15,493) in the CKD arm. Two investigators independe...

Impact of anemia on long-term outcomes in patients treated with first and second-generation drug-eluting stents Katowice-Zabrze Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with anemia is significant higher risk of death in the 12-month follow-up, while anemia has no impact on the incidence of MI, repeat revascularization, and stroke. There is no advantage DES II over DES I generation in terms of MACCE and TVR in patients with anemia. PMID: 26575311 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Revascularization in Patients With Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease Everolimus-Eluting Stents Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
ConclusionsIn patients with CKD, CABG is associated with higher short-term risk of death, stroke, and repeat revascularization, whereas PCI with everolimus-eluting stents is associated with a higher long-term risk of repeat revascularization and perhaps MI, with no long-term mortality difference. In the subgroup on dialysis, the results favored CABG over PCI.

Treatment patterns, risk factor control and functional capacity in patients with cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease in the cardiac rehabilitation setting
Conclusion Within a short period of 3–4 weeks, CR led to substantial improvements in key risk factors such as lipid profile, blood pressure, and physical fitness for all patients, even if CKD was present.

Long-term Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery for Acute Coronary Syndromes Cardiovascular Surgery
Conclusions Severe, but not moderate, renal dysfunction was independently associated with an increased risk of long-term cardiovascular events and death in patients undergoing CABG for acute coronary syndromes.
