¿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>

Disnea y oclusiones totales crónicas: un síntoma que podemos aliviar (o al menos intentarlo)

Subintimal Re-Entry in CTO Improves Outcomes

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos&nbsp;Fava. Chronic total occlusions (CTO) are still one of the greatest challenges in our field, thus forcing the development of different complex strategies to resolve them. Additionally, the use of imaging techniques during these procedures has improved long-term results.

01- Management of Infarction During the COVID-19 Pandemic Patients with cardiovascular disease infected with COVID-19 are at a particular risk for morbidity and mortality. In any case, it should be noted that most patients requiring cardiovascular care due to ischemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, or structural heart disease are not infected.

Thrombosis and Thromboembolism Associated with COVID-19

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral respiratory illness that can cause a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), predisposing patients to thrombosis (both in veins and arteries) due to excessive inflammation, platelet activation, endothelial dysfunction, and stasis. In addition, many patients receiving antithrombotic therapy for different indications may now become infected with COVID-19, which can<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/05/13/thrombosis-and-thromboembolism-associated-with-covid-19/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Procedural Rescheduling Criteria in the Pandemic Era

La morfología de la placa podría modificar las mediciones funcionales

Plaque Morphology Could Modify Functional Measurements

The vulnerable features of plaque are independently associated to functional measurements done under hyperemia far better than baseline measurements such as iFR. These findings suggest that not only stenosis severity but also plaque features contribute to functional measurements.&nbsp; This is a sub-study of the PACIFIC (Prospective Comparison of Cardiac PET/CT, SPECT/CT Perfusion Imaging and CT<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/04/08/plaque-morphology-could-modify-functional-measurements/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Predilatación en TAVI ¿Datos definitivos para no complicarse tomando decisiones?

Predilation in TAVR: Definitive Data for Easier Decision-Making?

Direct implantation (without predilation) resulted non-inferior vs. the conventional strategy with prior balloon aortic valvuloplasty using the S3 prosthesis (even though this did not translate into a simplified procedure). In a few patients, the prosthesis was not able to cross the native valve, which resulted in device retrieval and subsequent valvuloplasty.
