Abstract
The recent evidence regarding the effectiveness of renal denervation (RDN) in blood pressure control is becoming increasingly substantial. However, many studies have excluded populations with severely impaired kidney function, even though these individuals have a higher prevalence of hypertension compared to the general population, and controlling their blood pressure is more challenging. The effectiveness and safety of RDN in patients with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) lack strong evidence support. Concerns about worsening kidney function still exist, particularly in patients with CKD stage 5. We conducted an observational study involving 10 patients who were using at least 3 different antihypertensive medications and had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 but had not undergone dialysis. For these patients, we performed RDN via the radial artery approach, with the assistance of carbon dioxide (CO2) angiography. Utilizing this approach, the systolic 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring did not exhibit a significant decrease at 3 months; however, a significant reduction was observed at 6 months after RDN. We also minimized contrast agent usage, observed no kidney function decline 3 months post-RDN, and experienced no vascular-related complications. Using the radial artery approach and CO2 angiography assistance for RDN may be an effective and safe blood pressure control method for patients with severe kidney impairment.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the use of prophylactic intravenous hydration (IV prophylaxis) and carbon dioxide (CO2) angiography in reducing contrast associated-acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) and determine the overall incidence and risk factors of CA-AKI in high-risk patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions (PVI). Method: Only patients undergoing elective PVI from 2017 to 2021 with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-5 in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database were included. Patients were grouped into IV prophylaxis vs no prophylaxis. The study's primary outcome was CA-AKI, defined as a rise in creatinine (>.5 mg/dL) or new dialysis within 48 hours following contrast administration. Standard univariate and multivariable (logistic regression) analyses were conducted. Results: A total of 4497 patients were identified. Of these, 65% received IV prophylaxis. The overall incidence of CA-AKI was .93%. No significant difference was seen in overall contrast volume (mean (SD): 66.89(49.54) vs 65.94(51.97) milliliters, P > .05) between the 2 groups. After adjusting for significant covariates, the use of IV prophylaxis (OR (95% CI): 1.54(.77-3.18), P = .25) and CO2 angiography (OR (95%CI): .95(.44-2.08), P = .90) was not associated with a significant reduction in CA-AKI compared to the patients with no prophylaxis. The severity of CKD and diabetes were the only predictor of CA-AKI. Compared to patients with no CA-AKI, patients with CA-AKI were at risk of higher 30-day mortality (OR (95% CI): 11.09 (4.25-28.93)) and cardiopulmonary complications (OR (95% CI): 19.03 (8.74-41.39) following PVI (Both P < .001). Conclusion: Using a large national vascular database, our study demonstrates that prophylactic use of IV hydration and CO2 angiography in high-risk CKD patients is not associated with a reduction in renal injury following PVI. Reduced kidney function and history of diabetes is an independent predictor of CA-AKI and patients that develop post-procedural AKI are at an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Background and Objective Vascular calcification (VC) and resulting vascular disease is one of the major causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD itself is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for cardiac and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This paper examines the atherosclerotic plaque composition and specific endovascular considerations in the end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The literature was reviewed regarding the current status of medical and interventional management arteriosclerotic disease in patients with CKD. Lastly, three representative cases displaying typical endovascular treatment options are provided. Methods A literature search was performed in PubMed covering publications up to September 2021 as well as discussion with experts in the field. Key Content and Findings The high prevalence of atherosclerotic lesions in patients with chronic renal failure and high (re-)stenosis cause problems in the medium and long term as vascular calcium load represents one of the most widely encountered predictors of failure of endovascular treatment of PAD and future cardiovascular events (e.g., coronary calcium score). Patients with CKD also suffer from a greater risk for major vascular adverse events in general and worse revascularization outcomes following peripheral vascular intervention. A correlation between calcium burden and drug-coated balloon (DCB) performance has been established for PAD necessitating the need for different tools to cope with vascular calcium such as endoprosthesis or braided stents. Patients with CKD are at a higher risk of developing contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). In addition to recommendations such as the administration of intravenous fluids, carbon dioxide (CO2) angiography is one option to potentially provide an effective and safe alternative both to iodine-based contrast media allergy and to the use of iodine-based contrast media in patients with CKD. Conclusions Management and endovascular procedures of patients with ESRD are complex. In the course of time, new endovascular therapy methods have been developed such as directional atherectomy (DA) and the so-called "pave-and-crack" technique to deal with high vascular calcium burden. Besides interventional therapy, vascular patients with CKD benefit from aggressive medical management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbon dioxide angiography with addition of optical coherence tomography imaging may improve procedural success and clinical outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease and chronic kidney disease. METHODS Single-center, retrospective analysis of patients with chronic kidney disease who underwent carbon dioxide angiography and optical coherence tomography-guided chronic total occlusion crossing and/or optical coherence tomography-guided directional atherectomy was performed. Patient and procedure-related characteristics, along with peri- and one-year post-procedural major adverse events, were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 18 vessels in 11 patients, with mean age 70 years were treated. All had co-morbidities such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, had history or were current smokers with baseline peripheral artery disease. Majority were diabetic with coronary disease (82%); 55% baseline chronic kidney disease IV, 55% Rutherford class III and 45% class IV. Contrast was used in only two patients. Mean total fluoroscopy time and radiation dose was 24.1 min and 249.2 mGY, respectively. Half of the lesions were femoro-popliteal chronic total occlusions, and Ocelot catheter was used to cross seven of nine chronic total occlusions and was successful in six. Adjunctive optical coherence tomography-guided directional atherectomy was performed in 8 of 11 patients. Only two adverse events occurred: one clinically significant event of slow-flow intra-procedurally and one target limb revascularization within one year of index procedure in a vessel different than prior treated. Optical coherence tomography imaging in both chronic total occlusion-crossing and atherectomy resulted in 10-min mean fluoroscopy reduction time and 32 mGY reduction in radiation dose. CONCLUSION Carbon dioxide angiography with the addition of optical coherence tomography imaging for chronic total occlusion crossing and/or optical coherence tomography-guided directional atherectomy reduced the need for contrast agents, total fluoroscopy time, and radiation exposure in patients with peripheral artery disease and baseline chronic kidney disease.
