Ideally, we will not puncture the femoral artery blindly if we are planning to use a big caliber releasing device and a percutaneous closure device during TAVR. The risk of a high or low puncture or the presence of a lateral branch compromising the puncture site might become a major vascular and bleeding complication. There...

01- Post MI Betablockers for Good? Patients receiving optimal medical treatment after MI do not seem to benefit from betablockers in the long term, provided they do not present cardiac failure or systolic function deterioration.

The Latin American Society of Interventional Cardiology has decided to hire the REDCap database platform to keep developing their research registries. In this regard, SOLACI’s Research Department continues to advance its mission of building clinical research lines to gather reliable information, which will allow us to define better therapeutic behaviors to adress the treatment of the...
Most cardiovascular diseases and mortality come down to 4 years of unhealthy habits (smoking, poor diet, obesity and sedentarism) and 3 major risk factors (cholesterol, hypertension, and diabetes). Ideal cardiovascular health, defined as absence or control of these 7 factors, is far less frequent than we might believe. It is estimated that 87% of the...
In order to reduce cardiovascular events, dietary guidelines recommend restricting saturated fatty acids—without taking into account differences among them—to <10% of the daily caloric intake. It should be noted that there are many different saturated fatty acids, each with its own biological effect. Moreover, said biological effect could be modified by the food matrix and...
The risk of contrast induced kidney injury is significantly lower in patients receiving transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) compared against patients getting a coronary angiography or angioplasty. This is true even for valvular heart disease patients with higher risk profiles. Differences in contrast-induced acute kidney injury between TAVR or coronary patients had not been previously...
We present the first clinical case in the section “The Fellow’s Corner”, aimed at fellows in Latin America who wish to learn and always be up to date in interventional cardiology. Leave your thoughts in the comment section of this article and join the conversation! Case Authors: Jair Suriano Martins (ARG), Leonardo Ripa (ARG). Moderator:...
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. DES have improved PCI outcomes, but one of its biggest challenges continues to be bifurcations (especially when we have to use two stents, since it’s been associated to higher restenosis and stent thrombosis rates). Left main coronary artery true bifurcation lesions are the ones that generate the greatest challenge and...
