Cardioband in Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation

Untreated tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has been associated to high morbimortality. Surgical treatment of isolated severe TR is complex and carries a high mortality rate.&nbsp; A transcatheter treatment of this valve is currently being developed, and different concepts are being applied to the new devices.&nbsp; Even though most TR is secondary, atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (A-FTR)<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/07/04/cardioband-in-tricuspid-valve-regurgitation/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Biolimus vs Paclitaxel Coated Balloons for the Treatment of In-Stent Restenosis

Drug eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR) is currently a challenging, seeing as it often requires repeat revascularization. The use of drug coated balloons (DCB) offers the advantage of delivering the drug without the need for re-stenting. This highlights the importance of the technological development of DCB, with diverse drug formulations and coating technologies.

Long Term Outcomes of Hyperemic Stenosis Resistance Index (HSR) in Patients with Stable Chronic Angina

The hyperemic stenosis resistance index (HSR) was introduced as a more complete hemodynamic severity indicator of a coronary lesion. HSR combines both pressure drop across a lesion and the flow through it, therefore overcoming the limitations of traditional indices such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) and coronary flow reserve (CFR).

BIONYX: Onyx vs. Orsiro At 5 Years

Onyx is a zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES), designed with thin struts and a platinum core that enhances its radiological visibility. This can be beneficial in complex situations with limited visibility, such as in patients who are obese or present severe calcification, two particularly frequent characteristics in diabetic or elderly patients.

EuroPCR 2024 | Prognostic Value of MRR in STEMI: Group Analysis of Individual Patients

Despite primary angioplasty, many patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction with (STEMI) show evidence of microvascular dysfunction. This dysfunction can be characterized by two main factors: A new specific index has recently been identified to assess microcirculation called microvascular resistance reserve (MRR), which allows measuring vasodilatory capacity independent of the epicardium.&nbsp; The purpose of<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/05/17/europcr-2024-prognostic-value-of-mrr-in-stemi-group-analysis-of-individual-patients/" title="Read more" >...</a>

EuroPCR 2024 | Influence and Effect of CAD Physiopathological Patterns in the Safety and Efficacy of PCI

Coronary revascularization aims at improving coronary flow. However, after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) a significant number of patients might experience suboptimal coronary physiology. It has been observed that low fractional flow reserve (FFR) after PCI is associated to poor prognosis. Also, improved FFR after procedure directly correlates with improved angina symptoms.&nbsp; Pullback pressure during<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/05/17/europcr-2024-influence-and-effect-of-cad-physiopathological-patterns-in-the-safety-and-efficacy-of-pci/" title="Read more" >...</a>

SMART Trial: What is the Best Valve for Small Annuli?

Transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI) has been shown beneficial over the years. However, a significant subgroup of patients with small aortic annulus, which make approximately one third of cases and have a higher incidence in women, face additional challenge, such as higher incidence of mismatch, reduced exercise capacity and shorter durability.&nbsp; Self-expanding and balloon expandable<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/04/19/smart-trial-what-is-the-best-valve-for-small-annuli/" title="Read more" >...</a>

ACC 2024 | REDUCE AMI: Beta-Blockers after Myocardial Infarction and Preserved Ejection Fraction

Most clinical trials have shown benefits of beta blockers after acute myocardial infraction, including patients with extensive AMI, and these were carried out in the era before AMI was diagnosed with biomarkers and prior to treatment with coronary angioplasty, use of antithrombotic agents and high intensity statins, and angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors.

ACC 2024 | PREVENT Study

The use of intravascular imaging to identify vulnerable plaque (VP) has proven to be very useful, as such plaque is associated with an increase in major adverse cardiac events. Optimal medical treatment is currently considered the standard strategy to stabilize VP.

Cardiogenic shock will develop in approximately 10% of patients with ST elevated acute MI (STEMI), and unfortunately, only half of these patients will survive.&nbsp; Researchers have been looking into the Impella system to manage this severe complication.
