TCT 2019 | EXCEL: Left Main Coronary Artery Angioplasty with Favorable Results at 5 Years

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos&nbsp;Fava. Unprotected left main coronary artery angioplasty with drug-eluting stents has emerged as an acceptable strategy for a select group of patients, with results comparable to those of myocardial revascularization surgery at 2 or 3&nbsp;years. However, beyond such term, we had no valid information. Researchers analyzed the 5-year follow-up results for the<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/10/01/tct-2019-excel-left-main-coronary-artery-angioplasty-with-favorable-results-at-5-years/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Best Conduits and Best Surgeons for the Best Outcome

Myocardial revascularization surgery is still one of the most effective treatment strategies against coronary disease. One of the most important advantages of surgery over angioplasty is the chance to reach complete revascularization. This has proven to improve the survival of patients and to reduce the number of cardiovascular events.

Balancear el riesgo de sangrado vs trombótico para definir el tiempo de doble antiagregación

Can Antiplatelet Therapy Affect the Life of Coronary Grafts?

The antiplatelet treatment strategy providing optimal balance between thrombotic and bleeding risks in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization surgery is unclear. What does seem somewhat certain is that some antiplatelet therapy is necessary to prevent early thrombosis, mainly in vein grafts, but (as opposed to what happens with angioplasty) there are other relevant factors such as<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/08/19/can-antiplatelet-therapy-affect-the-life-of-coronary-grafts/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Monto de isquemia basal en pacientes con múltiples vasos y evolución a largo plazo

Amount of Baseline Ischemia in Patients with Multivessel Disease and Long-Term Progress

According to this recent analysis of the MASS II trial, which will soon be published in JAMA, baseline ischemia is not associated with events at 10 years in patients with chronic stable angina. The ischemic burden induced through exercise does not predict events or long-term ventricular function. Such data add some suspense to the results<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/08/05/amount-of-baseline-ischemia-in-patients-with-multivessel-disease-and-long-term-progress/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Remodelado miocárdico reverso luego del reemplazo valvular

Loss in Life Expectancy after Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement

This study found after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) patients had shorter life expectancy, compared against the general population. This loss in life expectancy was significant, especially in young patients. These results provide essential information to advice patients before and after SAVR.

Angiography Guided CABG Still Adequate

Fractional Flow reserve (FFR) guided myocardial revascularization surgery (CABG) has similar graft failure rate and clinical outcomes as angiography guided CABG. When planning PCI, the value of FFR for lesion assessment pose no questions, but we know little when it comes to CABG.

Outcomes of MAIN-COMPARE: A 10-Year Follow-Up for a Historical Rivalry

Angioplasty and myocardial revascularization surgery have competed over the left main coronary artery for a long time. There may be many points of view involved in the interpretation of trial outcomes. While surgeons consider the left main coronary artery to be suitable for surgery (except when faced with surgical contraindications), interventional cardiologists see the left<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/04/30/outcomes-of-main-compare-a-10-year-follow-up-for-a-historical-rivalry/" title="Read more" >...</a>
