Original title: Outcomes of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair with 2 different Endograft Systems With Suprarenal Fixation in Patients With Hostile Infrarenal Aortic Anatomy. Reference: George A. Antomiuo et al. Vascular Endovascular Surgery 47(1):9-18 The unfavorable or hostile anatomy of abdominal aortic aneurysms is a limitation of endovascular treatment and is related to complications after implantation such as migration, the...
Original title: Comparison of fenestrated endovascular and open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms not suitable for standard endovascular repair. Reference: Rana Canavati et al. J Vasc Surg 2013;57:362-7. Studies in patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm that could receive a standard stent versus conventional surgery, showed reduced perioperative mortality with endovascular treatment. However, these same results in patients...
Original title: Outcomes of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair in Patients with Hostile Neck Anatomy Reference: Stather et al. European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 44 (2012) 556-561. Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (EVAR) has already shown benefits in terms of mortality compared with conventional surgery. The disadvantages of EVAR are reinterventions for endoleaks, migration or device failure...
A new year is coming to an end and at SOLACI we are going over the most read studies on our website, on a vital topic, peripheral vascular disease. Follow us to keep up to date. 01- SOLACI PERIPHERAL | 6th Clinical Case: Common, Superficial and Deep Femoral Artery Recanalization Dr. Ana Paula Mollón (Arg.)...
01- Management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in 2021 Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are those of >3 cm aortic diameter. They run the risk of rupture and ensuing death by bleeding. In consequence, they are treated to repair the aneurysm before it ruptures. Read more HERE 02- Ten Commandments for 2021 Guidelines on Valvular Heart Disease Since...
01- Ticagrelor or Prasugrel in ST Elevation MI In patients undergoing ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) receiving primary PCI, no significative differences between prasugrel and ticagrelor were found. However, the latter was associated to a significantly higher number of repeat MI when considered separately. Read more HERE 02- Number of Hours of Sleep and...
This work addressed the occurrence of complications after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) for the treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms in a cohort of 454 patients with a 5.2-year follow-up. About 25% of patients experience complications of some kind. As opposed to other studies, here, the vast majority of those complications were asymptomatic and had...
This work supports previous observations on the mortality benefit of regional (and even local) anesthesia in patients who undergo elective endovascular aneurysm repair for the treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. These benefits also translated into a shorter hospital stay, but not into less pulmonary complications, which is what previous studies had suggested. Minimally invasive...
This year SOLACI celebrated the 10th issue of ProEducar Fellow Course during SOLACI-SBHCI 2019 in Sao Paulo. The course was a roaring success: not only did we have record attendance, with 150 attending fellows, but we also benefited from the participation of notorious international interventionists ─ among others, doctors Stone, Grines, Granada, Hijazi, Abizaid, Mendiz,...
Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Severe or moderate mitral regurgitation is associated to worse evolution after TAVR. However, we should not forget the tricuspid valve that, even though not extensively researched, is also associated to a negative impact in its evolution. A meta-analysis of 12 studies with a total 41485 patients was carried out. ...
