Stent farmacológico em pacientes com risco de sangramento elevado
Fundamentos e objetivos: O uso de stent farmacológico (DES) ao invés de stent “convencional” não farmacológico (BMS) em pacientes com risco de sangramento elevado (HBR) continua controverso devido a necessidade de maior duração da terapia de anti-agregação plaquetária dupla (DAPT), fato que causa preocupação em relação à segurança. O DES eluidor de zotarolimus Endeavor Sprint...
A localização da lesão coronária associada ao risco de sangramento pode direcionar a duração da dupla terapia antiplaquetária
Fundamentos: A duração ideal da terapia antiplaquetária dupla (DAPT) após implante de stent ainda é controversa e gera muita discussão. As diretrizes internacionais sugerem a avaliação da duração da DAPT de acordo com o risco de isquemia e sangramento do paciente. No entanto, ainda não foi proposto um método de quantificação adequada desses riscos. Objetivos:...

Do We Need to See a Cardiologist before a Carotid Endarterectomy?
Cardiac complications are among the most frequent in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic lesions. This excess of cardiac events in patients with no neurological symptoms of carotid stenosis is essential to balance the risk/benefit ratio of carotid endarterectomy. A routine cardiology consultation prior surgery could reduce perioperative infarction rate, general complications and even mortality. ...
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. Since the early days of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outflow tract calcification has...
TCT 2019 | MODEL U-SES: More Devices for High Risk of Bleeding and Short DAPT
Courtesy of SBHCI. This study tested the safety of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after only three months of bioresorbable polymer sirolimus DES implantation (Ultimaster). Secondary end point was following with P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after the first 3 months compared with aspirin. It included 1695 patients treated with sirolimus eluting Ultimaster receiving 3-month DAPT. After the...
TCT 2019 | EVOLVE Short DAPT: Only 3-month DATP in High Risk Bleeding
Courtesy of the SBHCI. This study used the thin strut everolimus eluting stent with ultrathin abluminal bioresorbable polymer coating chromium platinum stent, basically the Synergy stent. Drug release and polymer degradation within four months facilitate endothelization and would allow a shorter DAPT. Presented during the scientific sessions of TCT 2019, this study included 2009 high...
TCT 2019 | Onyx ONE: Durable Polymer vs. Polymer-Free Stent with Only One Month of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy
Courtesy of the SBHCI. This is the first randomized study comparing a durable-polymer drug-eluting stent (zotarolimus-eluting stent Onyx) and a polymer-free drug-eluting stent (biolimus-A9-coated stent BioFreedom), with only one month of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients at high risk for bleeding. Onyx ONE was a study conducted at 84 sites that randomized 1:1 2000 total patients at...
