ESC 2021 | ACST-2: CAS vs endarterectomía en pacientes asintomáticos

ESC 2021 | ACST-2: CAS vs Endarterectomy in Asymptomatic Patients

The ACST-2 was designed to compare long-term outcomes of carotid artery stenting (CAS) vs carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with asymptomatic stenosis.  Prior to this study we had the German registry including 18,000 patients undergoing CAS and 86,000 receiving CEA between 2014 and 2019. At 30 days, disabling stroke rate was 0.7% for both strategies.<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/08/31/esc-2021-acst-2-cas-vs-endarterectomy-in-asymptomatic-patients/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Large Differences between Focal and Diffuse Patterns of Stable CAD

PCI is far more successful at reducing ischemia when treating focal stable coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there were no differences in symptoms between both types of CAD.  Physiological assessment with pressure wire pullback can be used to distinguish focal vs diffuse CAD, even though the relevance of this distinction has not been looked at<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/08/19/large-differences-between-focal-and-diffuse-patterns-of-stable-cad/" title="Read more" >...</a>

EuroPCR 2021 | TVT Registry: Outcomes of TAVR in Low Surgical Risk Bicuspids

In bicuspid patients with aortic stenosis and low surgical risk, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with balloon expandable valve offers results comparable to normal anatomy results.  These data come from the TVT registry, presented at EuroPCR 2021 scientific sessions. Stroke and death rates (inhospital, 30 days and one year) in bicuspid patients did not result<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/27/europcr-2021-tvt-registry-outcomes-of-tavr-in-low-surgical-risk-bicuspids/" title="Read more" >...</a>

CT and Angiography Agreement in Patients from the ISCHEMIA Trial

Computed tomographic (CT) angiography showed a high degree of agreement with conventional angiography to detect significant coronary artery disease and rule out left main disease. This imaging study was done on a group of patients before their randomization in the ISCHEMIA trial. Data are soon to be published in JACC Cardiovascular Imaging and add plenty<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/04/23/ct-and-angiography-agreement-in-patients-from-the-ischemia-trial/" title="Read more" >...</a>
