Coronary Calcification: More Frequent Use of Coronary Lithotripsy as a Recommendation

Coronary calcification, whether concentric or eccentric, has always posed a challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to difficulties in plaque preparation, device navigability, proper stent apposition, drug release, and potential complications during the procedure. This study analyzed 262&nbsp;patients who participated in the four Disrupt CAD OCT Studies and underwent PCI using coronary lithotripsy followed<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/11/02/coronary-calcification-more-frequent-use-of-coronary-lithotripsy-as-a-recommendation/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Drug Coated Balloons: Link between Femoropopliteal Lesion Calcification Grade and Clinical Outcomes

At present, the use of drug coated balloons (DCB) in femoropopliteal territory is more and more frequent. However, when it comes to treating moderate to severe calcification, the evidence is still limited.&nbsp;&nbsp; Using a peripheral artery calcification scoring system (PACSS) has been associated to clinical outcomes after DCB angioplasty for femoropopliteal lesions.

Outflow Tract Calcification and the Best Valve in This Context

Moderate or severe left ventricle outflow tract calcification increases the risk of annulus rupture, residual aortic regurgitation and the need for a second valve. This recent study analyzed the performance of different contemporary prosthetic valves in patients with this particular anatomy.&nbsp; Since the early days of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outflow tract calcification has<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/09/10/outflow-tract-calcification-and-the-best-valve-in-this-context/" title="Read more" >...</a>

TAVR: Reasons to Consider Mitral Annular Calcification

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Aortic valve calcification and mitral annular calcification have the same etiology and are frequently present in high-risk patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The implications of mitral annular calcification for patients undergoing TAVR has not been entirely clarified yet. &nbsp; The study examined 782 patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2017/02/14/tavr-reasons-to-consider-mitral-annular-calcification/" title="Read more" >...</a>

JR-CTO Score for Percutaneous Treatment of Chronic Total Occlusions via Retrograde Approach

Technological advancements and technique improvements have significantly enhanced the success rate of percutaneous interventions for treating chronic total occlusions (CTO). Angiographic scores and CTO-PCI algorithms are valuable tools that help us select the optimal strategy when planning these procedures. The retrograde strategy, specifically, has proven beneficial in addressing complex CTOs. However, standardized tools to predict<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/05/15/jr-cto-score-for-percutaneous-treatment-of-chronic-total-occlusions-via-retrograde-approach/" title="Read more" >...</a>

TAVR in Bicuspid Valves

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease affects 1%-2% of the population and manifests with severe aortic stenosis in the middle-aged.&nbsp; It characterizes for a very different anatomy with more calcification than the tricuspid aortic valve. At present, surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is the first treatment indication.&nbsp; TAVR in this scenario has shown, in different studies,<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/05/07/tavr-in-bicuspid-valves/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty in Femoropopliteal CTOs: Intraluminal or Subintimal?

Patients with peripheral vascular disease often experience femoropopliteal compromise. It is estimated that approximately 50% of lesions in this area are chronic total occlusions (CTO). Even though success rate has improved for peripheral CTO treatments, long term clinical and technical outcomes have not been fully determined yet.&nbsp; Prior research has looked into stenting outcomes in<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/04/19/drug-coated-balloon-angioplasty-in-femoropopliteal-ctos-intraluminal-or-subintimal/" title="Read more" >...</a>
