Otro “escándalo” en la medicina basada en la evidencia ¿El monitoreo ambulatorio de presión puesto en duda?

Do We Need to See a Cardiologist before a Carotid Endarterectomy?

Cardiac complications are among the most frequent in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy for asymptomatic lesions.&nbsp; This excess of cardiac events in patients with no neurological symptoms of carotid stenosis is essential to balance the risk/benefit ratio of carotid endarterectomy.&nbsp; A routine cardiology consultation prior surgery could reduce perioperative infarction rate, general complications and even mortality.&nbsp;<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/09/11/do-we-need-to-see-a-cardiologist-before-a-carotid-endarterectomy/" title="Read more" >...</a>

ESC 2020 | At Long Term, Diabetic Patients Benefit from Surgery

Data of this “real world” study have confirmed that diabetic patients with multivessel disease will benefit from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).&nbsp; According to Dr. Douglas S. Lee, main author of this study, the evidence is fairly conclusive, enough to recommend CABG as first option in this particular subgroup of patients similar to FREEDOM patients.&nbsp;<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/09/07/esc-2020-at-long-term-diabetic-patients-benefit-from-surgery/" title="Read more" >...</a>

El uso del ultrasonido intravascular en la angioplastia de tronco no protegido se asocia con mejores resultados en comparación con la angioplastia guiada solo por angiografía.

IVUS in Every Step of Complex Angioplasty

Complex angioplasties require not only experience and patience but also technology. Imaging–guided pre-dilation, stent sizing, and post-dilation reduced the cardiovascular events after a 3-year follow-up in patients who received drug-eluting stents in complex angioplasties. This paper, recently published in JACC Interventions, compared the 3-year outcome of the complex angioplasty optimization technique with intravascular imaging to<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/08/20/ivus-in-every-step-of-complex-angioplasty/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Nuevas estrategias en el territorio femoropoplíteo

How to Determine Optimal Balloon Size in Below-the-Knee Angioplasty

Unlike the coronary and femoral arteries, calcification of medial layers in infrapatellar arteries prevents positive remodeling and expansion capacity to maintain vessel lumen.&nbsp; Long term patency of endovascular treatment is suboptimal despite the coated balloons, atherectomy devices and stents.&nbsp; Standard angiographies only show vessel lumen far from its real dimension given the severe thickening of<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/07/31/how-to-determine-optimal-balloon-size-in-below-the-knee-angioplasty/" title="Read more" >...</a>

¿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>
