ACC 2023 | YELLOW III Study. Effect of Evolocumab on Coronary Plaque Characteristics in Stable Coronary Artery Disease
Dr. Kini presented the results of the YELLOW III Study where she analyzed the effect of evolocumab on coronary plaque in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Mechanical Aspiration in ST Elevation ACS
In ST elevation ACS the preferred treatment is primary PCI. However, one its limitations is thrombus presence and its distal embolization, which threatens microcirculation perfusion and is therefore associated to ventricular function deterioration and bad evolution.
TAVR: Vascular Access in Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease, 1-Year Outcomes
At present, the transfemoral access (TFA) is the preferred approach when it comes to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, 5 to10% of PAD patients present tortuous iliac anatomy and calcification, aortic aneurysms or prior peripheral intervention, which makes it impossible.
ACC 2023 | TRILUMINATE Pivotal: Edge-to-Edge Treatment in Patients with Tricuspid Regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation is a common and impairing disease. Optimal medical therapy (OMT) is limited, valve surgery is complex, and mortality is not low.
COAPT: Promising 5-Year Outcomes
Secondary ischemic and non-ischemic mitral valve failure (SMR), produce left ventricle dilation, papillary muscle displacement, and impaired leaflet closure causing regurgitation. This will lead to ventricular function deterioration and bad prognosis.
Microvascular Dysfunction in Symptomatic Patients with Intermediate Coronary Lesions Prognostic impact according to different patterns
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is emerging as an important cause of myocardial ischemia, and its role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease—including angina patients with nonobstructive coronary lesions—is well known.
ACC 2023 | Complete Revascularization Strategies in patients with ACS and Multivessel Disease
In patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and multivessel disease, complete revascularization is associated with better clinical outcomes. However, for non-culprit vessel revascularization the strategy remains unclear.
ACC 2023 | Subanalysis of the REVIVED-BICS Study2
This study demonstrated that coronary angioplasty does not entail any benefit in chronic stable angina over optimal medical therapy in those with impaired ventricular function (EF >35%) with extensive coronary artery disease and viable myocardium.
Left Main Coronary Artery Revascularization: Are Periprocedural Complications Significant?
In the field of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and myocardial revascularization surgery (MRS), previous analyses have shown a link between in-hospital and 30-day complications, in terms of complicated progress and/or mortality.
ACC 2023 | COORDINATE-DIABETES
Approximately only 2.7% of all diabetic patients with ischemic heart disease in the United States receive optimal treatment consisting in high doses of statins (ACEI/ARAII) or “cardio-stable” antihyperglycemic agents such as SGLT2I and GLP-1RA (three of them). Of the population, 37.4% does not use any medication.
