Official Presentation of SOLACI / SIAC Latin American Clinical TAVR Guidelines

The Latin American Society of Interventional Cardiology (SOLACI) and the Inter-American Society of Cardiology (SIAC) have jointly developed their Clinical Guidelines on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) to be presented this week at the Virtual SIAC Congress. 

The creation of these guidelines is the result of an important joint effort between SOLACI and SIAC during these past 18 months. It aims at establishing a series of recommendations and therapeutic behaviors based on a systematic revision of the existing evidence, to improve and optimize TAVR practice across Latin America (and therefore improve patient care). 

All the information collected in this joint work is supported by robust international quality standards that guarantee absolute trust and transparency.  

The presentation will be held online, on Wednesday, June 6, 2021, at 04 PM (Panama time) at the virtual SIAC, and will be delivered by Dr. Pablo Lamelas (Argentina), SOLACI Research Director. Doctors Alfaro Marchena (Panama), Luis gutiérrez Jaikel (Costa Rica), José Edgar Villegas (Colombia), Mónica Giambruno (Uruguay), Magalí Arrais (Brasil), Oscar Paredes (Paraguay) and Carla Agatiello (Argentina) will also take part.

Looking forward to seeing you at SIAC virtual Congress for this important release!
