    Abstract Background: Current guidelines recommend percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) prior to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) if significant coronary artery disease is present, but whether PCI should be done in the same admission as TAVI is not determined.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the National Inpatient Sample from 2016 to 2019 to compare TAVI with and without same-admission PCI and compare in-hospital outcomes after propensity score matching.
    Results: Among 170,030 hospitalizations for TAVI, 4425 (2.6%) had same-admission PCI performed. After propensity score matching, 4425 hospitalizations were allocated to those with and without same-admission PCI. No difference in in-hospital mortality (odds ratio [OR] 1.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.81-3.12) was observed between the two groups. However, TAVI with same-admission PCI was associated with higher odds of cardiac arrest (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.02-4.98), cardiogenic shock (OR 2.21, 95% CI 1.29-3.79), and acute myocardial infarction (OR 3.23, 95% CI 2.11-4.93). It was also associated with longer length of stay and more expensive hospital cost.
    Conclusion: TAVI with same-admission PCI was associated with higher odds of periprocedural complications and higher immediate cost. Our findings should be interpreted in the context of the same-admission PCI and TAVI cohort potentially being sicker and the isolated TAVI control group may or may not having obstructive coronary artery disease.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Cardiac risk assessment, though challenging, is critical in these high-risk patients, particularly in the pre-transplant population. In this review, we discuss the burden of coronary artery disease in the ESRD population and review the literature on the diagnostic and prognostic performance, clinical value, and future directions of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in ESRD patients.
    Recent findings: Stress myocardial perfusion imaging provides incremental prognostic value to clinical data. The AHA/ACCF consensus statement on the cardiac assessment of kidney transplant candidates provides some guidance on the selection of asymptomatic patients for further non-invasive risk stratification. Additionally, the novel selective A
    Summary: While myocardial perfusion imaging is widely used as a risk assessment tool, its utilization and clinical implications in the ESRD population are controversial. Though stress SPECT-MPI has imperfect diagnostic accuracy in this specific patient population, it is still a valuable non-invasive modality in cardiovascular risk assessment.

    Abstract Iatrogenic aortocoronary arteriovenous fistula is a very rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafting in which one of the arterial grafts inadvertently forms a fistulous tract with a cardiac vein, shunting blood from the anastomosed coronary artery. We report a patient with an iatrogenic left internal mammary artery graft to cardiac vein fistula presenting with recurrent angina three years after a three-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting.

    Abstract Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are an essential part of advanced heart failure (HF) management, either as a bridge to transplantation or destination therapy. Patients with advanced HF have a poor prognosis and may benefit from palliative care consultation (PCC). However, there is scarce data regarding the trends and predictors of PCC among patients undergoing LVAD implantation.
    Aim: This study aims to assess the incidence, trends, and predictors of PCC in LVAD recipients using the United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2006 until 2014.
    Methods: We conducted a weighted analysis on LVAD recipients during their index hospitalization. We compared those who had PCC with those who did not. We examined the trend in palliative care utilization and calculated adjusted odds ratios (aOR) to identify demographic, social, and hospital characteristics associated with PCC using multivariable logistic regression analysis.
    Results: We identified 20,675 admissions who had LVAD implantation, and of them 4% had PCC. PCC yearly rate increased from 0.6% to 7.2% (P < 0.001). DNR status (aOR 28.30), female sex (aOR 1.41), metastatic cancer (aOR: 3.53), Midwest location (aOR 1.33), and small-sized hospitals (aOR 2.52) were positive predictors for PCC along with in-hospital complications. Differently, Black (aOR 0.43) and Hispanic patients (aOR 0.25) were less likely to receive PCC.
    Conclusion: There was an increasing trend for in-hospital PCC referral in LVAD admissions while the overall rate remained low. These findings suggest that integrative models to involve PCC early in advanced HF patients are needed to increase its generalized utilization.

    Abstract Stress testing is challenging in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Functional capacity is generally decreased in this patient population, limiting patients' ability to achieve physiologic stress through exercise. Additionally, due to emphysematous changes, COPD patients tend to have poor acoustic windows that impair the quality and therefore diagnostic accuracy of stress echocardiography techniques. Pharmacologic stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) testing is also problematic, particularly due to the concern for adenosine-induced bronchoconstriction with conventional vasodilator stress agents. Regadenoson, a selective A2A adenosine receptor agonist, has gained popularity due to its ease of administration and improved patient experience in the general population. The literature describing the experience with regadenoson in COPD patients, though limited, is rapidly growing and reassuring. This review summarizes the pharmacology and clinical application of this novel stress agent and presents the available data on the safety and tolerability of its use in COPD patients.
