1- Consensus on How to Conduct Follow-Up in Peripheral Vascular Disease Peripheral vascular disease involves multiple areas and, therefore, can have very different presentations (from complete lack of symptoms to disabling symptoms). Depending on clinical presentation, general condition, anatomical localization, and lesion extension, revascularization can be indicated alongside optimal medical treatment.

Highlights TCT 2019

TCT 2019 | COAPT Cost Effectiveness: Better Quality of Life and Survival Rate, but Worth It?

Courtesy of SBHCI. The COAPT showed transcatheter repair of the mitral valve using the MitraClip resulted in reduced mortality and hospitalization for cardiac failure and improved quality of life, compared against optimal medical treatment in patients with cardiac failure and moderate to severe functional mitral regurgitation. The cost-effectiveness of this procedure has not been analyzed<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/10/01/tct-2019-coapt-cost-effectiveness-better-quality-of-life-and-survival-rate-but-worth-it/" title="Read more" >...</a>

TCT 2019 | PARTNER 2A at 5 Years: In Intermediate-Risk Patients, TAVR Is Still Head-to-Head with Surgery

Courtesy of the SBHCI. The 2-year results of the PARTNER 2A trial showed that transcatheter aortic valve implantation has a result similar to that of surgery in patients with aortic stenosis and intermediate surgical risk. We lacked long-term data, both clinical and related to prosthesis function. Now, at TCT 2019, researchers presented the 5-year data for this<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/10/01/tct-2019-partner-2a-at-5-years-in-intermediate-risk-patients-tavr-is-still-head-to-head-with-surgery/" title="Read more" >...</a>

TAVI en bajo riesgo con “cero” mortalidad y “cero” stroke

Very Encouraging Results for TAVR in Low-Risk Patients

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. About 12% of patients &gt;75 years old have aortic stenosis. In 3%-4% of them, such disease is severe. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has already proven to be beneficial for extreme-, high-, and intermediate-risk patients. Regarding low-risk patients, we currently have different analyses; two of them are randomized and their results are<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/09/30/very-encouraging-results-for-tavr-in-low-risk-patients/" title="Read more" >...</a>

EuroPCR 2019 | TRILUMINATE: Reparación tricuspídea con clip mejora la insuficiencia y la calidad de vida

EuroPCR 2019 | TRILUMINATE: Tricuspid Repair with Clip Improves Regurgitation and Quality of Life

Transcatheter therapy offers a promise for a largely forgotten valve given the lack of therapeutic options. Percutaneous edge-to-edge repair with clip seems to offer some hope to patients with tricuspid regurgitation according to the TRILUMINATE. At 30 days, transcatheter repair with clip significantly reduced tricuspid regurgitation at least in one grade in most patients, which<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/05/24/europcr-2019-triluminate-tricuspid-repair-with-clip-improves-regurgitation-and-quality-of-life/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Is Tricuspid Regurgitation after TAVR Significant?

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Severe or moderate mitral regurgitation is associated to worse evolution after TAVR. However, we should not forget the tricuspid valve that, even though not extensively researched, is also associated to a negative impact in its evolution. A meta-analysis of 12 studies with a total 41485 patients was carried out.  <a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/04/16/is-tricuspid-regurgitation-after-tavr-significant/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Subclavian and Axillary Access for TAVR: a Valid Alternative

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. The femoral approach is preferred when it comes to TAVR, but sometimes it is not viable. This is when other access sites come into play, such as the trans-subclavian/axillary (TS/TAx), the apical, transcaval, transcarotid (TC) or transaortic. At present, few studies have looked into this matter, which is why it<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/04/11/subclavian-and-axillary-access-for-tavr-a-valid-alternative/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Anillos aórticos pequeños, ¿Qué válvula deberíamos elegir?

NOTION and UK TAVI Report Good Long-Term Outcomes

Both studies followed beyond 5 years patients with severe aortic stenosis who had undergone transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Findings included low rates of significant valve degeneration and failure, in both cases. While data on the long-term degeneration of transcatheter-implanted valves are scarce, follow-up from the NOTION trial of low-risk patients and from the UK TAVI<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/02/12/notion-and-uk-tavi-report-good-long-term-outcomes/" title="Read more" >...</a>
