Chronic kidney disease and coronary artery disease are co-prevalent conditions with unique epidemiological and pathophysiological features, that culminate in high rates of major adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including all-cause mortality. This review outlines a summary of the literature, and nuances pertaining to non-invasive risk assessment of this population, medical management options for coronary heart disease and coronary revascularisation. A collaborative heart–kidney team-based approach is imperative for critical management decisions for this patient population, especially coronary revascularisation; this review outlines specific periprocedural considerations pertaining to coronary revascularisation, and provides a proposed algorithm for approaching revascularisation choices in patients with end-stage kidney disease based on available literature.

Abstract Background The SYNTAX Extended Survival (SYNTAXES) study is an investigator-driven extension of follow-up of the SYNTAX trial, which was a non-inferiority trial that compared percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using first-generation paclitaxel-eluting stents with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with de-novo three-vessel and left main coronary artery disease. The SYNTAXES study is the first randomized trial that reported the complete 10-year data on all-cause death in patients with complex coronary artery disease. Purpose Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and concomitant diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) are more susceptible to major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. However, to date, the long-term prognosis and which revascularization strategy was associated with better clinical outcomes for patients with complex coronary artery disease and concomitant with DM and CKD have not been documented. Methods In this sub-analysis of the SYNTAXES trial, a total of 1,638 patients were classified into four subgroups according to the DM and CKD status: DM−/CKD− (n=999, 60.1%), DM+/CKD− (n=323, 19.7%), DM−/CKD+ (n=231, 14.1%), and DM+/CKD+ (n=85, 5.2%). The treatment effects of PCI and CABG were analyzed in each subgroup. The primary endpoint was all-cause death at 10 years. Results Compared with the DM−/CKD− patients, patients with DM+/CKD+ were older, more often had a history of stroke, hypertension, heart failure, and were more frequently presented with total occlusion, bifurcation lesion and three-vessel disease. At 10 years, patients with DM+/CKD+ had a 3.94-fold higher incidence of all-cause mortality compared with DM−/CKD− individuals (54.1% versus 18.9%, 95% CI [2.85–5.44]). Patients with DM−/CKD+ (38.1%, HR 2.36; 95% CI [1.83–5.44]) or DM+/CKD− (28.2%, HR 1.61; 95% CI [1.26–2.07]) had intermediate risk profile. For DM+/CKD+ patients, compared with PCI, those who underwent CABG were associated with lower incidence of all-cause mortality (64.3% versus 44.2%, adjusted HR 0.52; 95% CI [0.27–0.99], p=0.047, pinteraction=0.443). The number of needed-to-treat to reduce mortality for CABG was 12. Conclusion In the SYNTAX population, patients with DM and CKD are at markedly increased risk of long-term mortality rate compared with patients one or neither of these risk factors. For patients with both comorbidities, CABG was associated with better clinical outcome compared with PCI. These findings should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating. Figure 1.

Background: Oral anticoagulants (OAC) plus antiplatelets is recommended for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary artery disease (CAD) to reduce thromboembolism. However, there is limited evidence regarding antithrombotic therapy for patients with concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD), AF, and CAD, especially those not undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. We aimed to use real-world data assessing the efficacy and safety of antithrombotic regimens in this population.Methods: We used a single-center database of 142,624 CKD patients to identify those receiving antithrombotic therapy for AF and CAD between 2010 and 2018. Patients taking warfarin or direct OAC (DOAC) alone were grouped in the OAC monotherapy (n = 537), whereas those taking OAC plus antiplatelets were grouped in the combination therapy (n = 2,391). We conducted propensity score matching to balance baseline covariates. The endpoints were all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events, and major bleedings.Results: After 1:4 matching, the number of patients in OAC monotherapy and combination therapy were 413 and 1,652, respectively. Between the two groups, combination therapy was associated with higher risks for ischemic stroke (HR 2.37, CI 1.72–3.27), acute myocardial infarction (HR 6.14, CI 2.51–15.0), and hemorrhagic stroke (HR 3.57, CI 1.35–9.81). The results were consistent across CKD stages. In monotherapy, DOAC users were associated with lower risks for all-cause mortality, AMI, and gastrointestinal bleeding than warfarin, but the stroke risk was similar between the two subgroups.Conclusions: For patients with concomitant CKD, AF and CAD not undergoing PCI, OAC monotherapy may reduce stroke and AMI risks. DOAC showed more favorable outcomes than warfarin.

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common among patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The prognosis of CKD on TAVR outcomes has been previously documented. However, there is a paucity of data about predictors of renal function improvement and its clinical relevance. Purpose To determine predictors of renal function improvement after TAVR among patients with CKD. Methods Prospective study, analyzing 819 patients from 22 centers with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis included in the Brazilian TAVR Registry between 2008 and 2015. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60mg/dL, and patients without CKD were excluded. Groups were divided according to variation of eGFR between baseline and 7 days after TAVR: improvement (increase >10% in eGFR) in 197 (34.1%) patients, worsening (decrease >10% in eGFR) in 203 (35.2%), and stable (neither criteria) in 177 (30.7%). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of renal function improvement. One-year outcomes were determined as Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Results CKD was present in 577 (70%) patients. The mean age was 81.9±6.8 years, 56.2% were male, 31.7% had diabetes and 74.5% had hypertension. The mean STS score was 10.6±7.9%, the mean EuroSCORE II were 21.8±15.2% and the preferable access site was transfemoral (93.4%). The mean eGFR was 37.3±12.5 ml/min in the improvement group (IG), 39.6±11.7 ml/min in the stable group (SG) and 40.2±12.3 ml/min in the worsening group (WG), with significant statistical difference between IG and WG (p=0.044). There was no difference related to contrast midia volume between the 3 groups. In the multivariate analysis, coronary artery disease (OR: 0.69; 95% CI 0.48–0.98; p=0.039) and baseline eGFR (OR: 0.98; 95% CI 0.97–1.00; p=0.039) were associated with improvement in renal function. There was no significant difference in 1-year all-cause mortality between IG and SG (15.4 vs 9.5%, log rank p=0.141) (Figure 1A). However, the WG had higher mortality compared with the IG (29.3 vs 15.4%, log rank p<0,001) (Figure 1B). Figure 1 Conclusion Improvement in renal function after TAVR was frequently found among patients with CKD. The absence of coronary artery disease and lower baseline eGFR were independent predictors of improvement in renal function. Although the IG had lower 1-year all-cause mortality compared to WG, no difference were observed related to SG. Acknowledgement/Funding SBHCI
