Purpose Of Review: Chronic kidney disease is one of the major risk factors for coronary artery disease. Both end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and advanced chronic kidney disease patients have atypical presentations of coronary artery disease (CAD) due to modifications in cardinal symptoms and clinical presentation. Data on evaluation and management of coronary artery or stable angina is limited in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients due to a limited number of trials. There are sparse data supporting either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft in advanced CKD patients.
Recent Findings: The ISCHEMIA-CKD trial to date is the most extensive prospective randomized study looking at advanced CKD patients study looking at advanced CKD stage 4/5 patients randomized to medical treatment alone vs. invasive strategy for moderate to severe myocardial ischemia. There was no evidence found that an initial invasive strategy compared with conservative strategy with maximal medical management resulted in reduced risk of death or nonfatal myocardial infarction in patients with advanced CKD and coronary artery disease with stable angina.
Summary: In this review, we will discuss the existing data on assessment and management of stable coronary artery disease/stable angina. And how this extrapolates to the application in advanced CKD patients awaiting kidney transplant.

Introduction: Impella CP is a percutaneous left ventricle assist device used in selected patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (HR-PCI). To improve outcomes after Impella-supported HR-PCI, institutional Impella programs have been developed.
Objectives: We evaluated the association between the standardized periprocedural management algorithm and outcomes of patients undergoing HR-PCI in the national IMPELLA-PL Registry.

Introduction: In-stent restenosis remains a significant challenge in coronary artery interventions. This study aims to explore the relationship between exercise intensity and stent design, focusing on the coupled response of the stent structure and hemodynamics at different exercise intensities.
Methods: A coupled balloon-stent-plaque-artery model and a fluid domain model reflecting structural deformation were developed to investigate the interaction between coronary stents and stenotic vessels, as well as their impact on hemodynamics.

Inter-coronary communication is a rare congenital anomaly, defined as a connection between two patent coronary arteries, and was first described in 1972. We report the case of a 61-year-old Emirati female who presented to the emergency department with chest pain and palpitations, along with a strong family history of cardiac disease. She was initially diagnosed with indolent hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and accordingly managed; however, the patient remained symptomatic.

Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a serious complication of myocardial infarction (MI) that can lead to a fetal systemic embolism. Although coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) after MI is widely performed, to our knowledge, there are no reports of LV thrombus in the early postoperative period. Here, we report a rare case of a 70-year-old man who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) for unstable angina pectoris with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), also known as black esophagus or Gurvits syndrome, is an uncommon endoscopic finding characterized by diffuse, circumferential, black discoloration of the esophagus that terminates at the gastroesophageal junction. The incidence of AEN has been reported to be 0-0.2% in autopsy series and up to 0.
