Herzog C, Simegn M, Xu Y, et al. - Outcomes of patients not listed vs those listed according to management strategy were compared in this post hoc analysis from ISCHEMIA-CKD (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness of Medical and Invasive Approaches–Chronic Kidney Disease).

• In the ISCHEMIA-CKD trial (n = 777), there was a listing of 194 patients (25%) with chronic coronary syndromes and at least moderate ischemia for transplantation.

• Listed patients were relatively younger (60 years vs 65 years), were less likely to be of Asian race (15% vs 29%), were more likely to be on dialysis (83% vs 44%), had fewer anginal symptoms, and were more likely to have coronary angiography and coronary revascularization when compared with those not listed.

• Outcomes revealed no improvement in outcomes in correlation with implementation of an invasive strategy in kidney transplant candidates when compared with conservative management.
