26 Treatment Revascularization in Patients With CKD COR LOE Recommendations 1 C-LD 1. In patients with CKD undergoing contrast media injection for coronary angiography, measures should be taken to minimize the risk of contrast-induced AKI. 1 C-EO 2. In patients with STEMI and CKD, coronary angiography and revascularization are recommended, with adequate measures to reduce the risk of AKI. 2a B-NR 3. In high-risk patients with NSTE-ACS and CKD, it is reasonable to perform coronary angiography and revascularization, with adequate measures to reduce the risk of AKI. 2a C-EO 4. In low-risk patients with NSTE-ACS and CKD, it is reasonable to weigh the risk of coronary angiography and revascularization against the potential benefit. 3: No benefit B-R 5. In asymptomatic patients with stable CAD and CKD, routine angiography and revascularization are NOT recommended if there is no compelling indication. Revascularization in Pregnant Patients COR LOE Recommendations 2a C-LD 1. In pregnant patients with STEMI not caused by SCAD, it is reasonable to perform primary PCI as the preferred revascularization strateg y. 2a C-LD 2. In pregnant patients with NSTE-ACS, an invasive strateg y is reasonable if medical therapy is ineffective for the management of life-threatening complications. Revascularization in Older Patients COR LOE Recommendation 1 B-NR 1. In older adults, as in all patients, the treatment strateg y for CAD should be based on an individual patient's preferences, cognitive function, and life expectancy.
