IN.PACT AV ACCESS | Drug-Coated Balloons for Dialysis Fistulas

The IN.PACT AV Access study, recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), showed that drug-coated balloons are superior for the treatment of stenotic lesions in arteriovenous fistulas for dialysis compared with conventional balloons. Dialysis fistulas are an unknown territory for paclitaxel-eluting balloons, since the formal recommendation in the guidelines is conventional angioplasty<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/09/30/in-pact-av-access-drug-coated-balloons-for-dialysis-fistulas/" title="Read more" >...</a>

La era del stent provisional para las bifurcaciones parece llegar a su fin

Is the Paradigm for Bifurcation Lesions Changing Once More?

Four years ago, we published a summary of the SMART-STRATEGY Study saying that, with bifurcation lesions, “less is more.” Last month, the DEFINITION Study published in the European Heart Journal suggested that things were about to change. Today, the DK-crush technique seems to have rendered both title and article obsolete.

Impact on Mortality with Rivaroxaban after Discharge

Extending thromboembolic prophylaxis with rivaroxaban in patients hospitalized for heart conditions reduce fatal and thromboembolic events by 28% without major bleeding payback. &nbsp; Patients hospitalized for heart conditions are at risk of thromboembolic events, and this is why inhospital prophylaxis (in general with low molecular weight heparin) is within the standard treatment.

Is Medical Treatment Better at Lowering Bleeding-Caused Mortality than Angioplasty?

Post-discharge bleeding in patients admitted for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is linked to higher all-cause mortality. However, this is the case for both patients who underwent angioplasty and those who were managed with medical treatment. These are interesting data, given that medical treatment is frequently preferred due to lower bleeding risk.

¿Son los stents con polímero bioabsorbible más trombogénicos que los de segunda generación con polímero durable?

ISAR-TEST-5: 10 años de los DES con polímero vs sin polímero

After 10&nbsp;years, unstable or chronic coronary patients revascularized with drug-eluting stents (DES) had similar, very good outcomes regardless of whether the DES did or did not have a polymer, according to the ISAR-TEST-5 study, recently published in J Am Coll Cardiol. The 10-year device-oriented endpoints occurred in 43.8% of patients treated with a polymer-free sirolimus-eluting<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/07/30/isar-test-5-10-anos-de-los-des-con-polimero-vs-sin-polimero-2/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Two-Stent Strategy is Safer in True Bifurcation Lesions

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava.&nbsp; 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).&nbsp; Left main coronary artery true bifurcation lesions are the ones that generate the greatest challenge and<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/07/28/two-stent-strategy-is-safer-in-true-bifurcation-lesions/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Evidencia randomizada sobre la utilidad del yoga en la rehabilitación cardíaca

Randomized Evidence on the Helpfulness of Yoga for Cardiac Rehabilitation

This work brings us evidence that yoga-based cardiac rehabilitation improves how patients feel about their health and reduces the time it takes them to resume the activities they could perform before experiencing an infarction. That is important information with impeccable timing. The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted most of the assistance we offer to cardiovascular patients,<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/07/24/randomized-evidence-on-the-helpfulness-of-yoga-for-cardiac-rehabilitation/" title="Read more" >...</a>
