The RELID study about radiation related cataracts was the ´Editor Award´ winner of JVIR as the Outstanding Clinical Research Paper for 2013

The development of interventional cardiology has led us to successfully treat injuries and angiographic situations increasingly complex. This goes along that often the length of procedures is increasing automatically leading to increased fluoroscopy time and film images.&nbsp; The result, often unnoticed, is the possibility of the appearance of irradiation injuries in our patients or in<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2014/02/03/n-4222/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Recommendations on occupational radiation protection in interventional cardiology

&nbsp; The evolution in experience of the operators together with the continuous improvement of devices have allowed new procedures that we did not perform a few years ago and that we never imagined possible, not even for the most enthusiastic of interventional cardiologists. Not a huge intellectual effort is required to say that the future<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2013/01/06/n-4047/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Does the systematic use of clopidogrel reduce events prior to angioplasty?

Original title:&nbsp;Association of Clopidogrel Pretreatment with mortality, Cardiovascular events, and Major Bleeding among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. A systematic review and Mata-analysis.&nbsp;Reference:&nbsp;Anne Bellemain-Appaix, MD et al. for the ACTION group. The loading of clopidogrel before coronary angioplasty is an accepted practice by most clinical and interventional cardiologists but, nevertheless, it is only based on<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2013/01/02/n-3123/" title="Read more" >...</a>
