Carotid Endarterectomy vs. Carotid Angioplasty in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Patients: 30-Day Outcomes
Extracranial carotid artery disease represents 15 to 20% of all strokes. Carotid revascularization plays a role in primary and secondary prevention of cerebrovascular events. Outcomes of two common revascularization strategies, Carotid endarterectomy (CAE) and carotid artery stenting (CAS), have been studied and compared. In recent years, complications associated to CAS have dropped thanks to technical<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/04/24/carotid-endarterectomy-vs-carotid-angioplasty-in-symptomatic-and-asymptomatic-patients-30-day-outcomes/" title="Read more" >...</a>
EXCEL Study: Complete vs. Incomplete Revascularization
Regardless of whether it is attempted through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or myocardial revascularization surgery (MRS), complete revascularization (CR) is not always achieved. Overall, it is more frequent with surgery than with percutaneous treatment. Additionally, incomplete revascularization (IR) has proven to be associated with worse outcomes compared to CR. Researchers conducted an analysis of the<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/04/24/excel-study-complete-vs-incomplete-revascularization/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty in Femoropopliteal CTOs: Intraluminal or Subintimal?
Patients with peripheral vascular disease often experience femoropopliteal compromise. It is estimated that approximately 50% of lesions in this area are chronic total occlusions (CTO). Even though success rate has improved for peripheral CTO treatments, long term clinical and technical outcomes have not been fully determined yet. Prior research has looked into stenting outcomes in<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/04/19/drug-coated-balloon-angioplasty-in-femoropopliteal-ctos-intraluminal-or-subintimal/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Peripheral Vascular Disease: Our Reality in Latin America, with the LATAM SOLACI Peripheral Registry
On the one hand, chronic peripheral vascular disease is on the rise. On the other, over the past 20 years, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has gained considerable ground thanks to various new devices, replacing surgery as an alternative in most scenarios. Both strategies have shown similar results, but PCI has fewer complications and shorter hospital stays.<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/04/18/peripheral-vascular-disease-our-reality-in-latin-america-with-the-latam-solaci-peripheral-registry/" title="Read more" >...</a>
ACC 2024 | IVUS-DCB
Drug-coated balloons (DCB) have proven to be effective in the treatment of femoropopliteal pathology, although they entail complications such as recoil, residual stenosis, and dissection. Their outcomes could be improved through proper and enhanced vessel preparation, both before and after the procedure. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) offers the advantage of characterizing plaque and assessing vessel diameter.<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/04/17/acc-2024-ivus-dcb-3/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Physiologically Significant Obstructions in the Left Main Coronary Artery: Revascularizing vs. Deferring
Most randomized studies on revascularization in stable coronary artery disease exclude left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD). One example of this was the ISCHEMIA study. However, the benefits of functional lesion assessment, as demonstrated in the FAME studies, highlight the importance of this tool in guiding decisions regarding revascularization. Nevertheless, the clinical outcomes of patients<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/03/27/physiologically-significant-obstructions-in-the-left-main-coronary-artery-revascularizing-vs-deferring/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Virtual Flow Reserve (VFR): Virtual Physiological Test with OCT
Assessing intermediate coronary lesions with intracoronary physiology tests such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) or other non-hyperemic indices is considered the standard of care by both American and European societies. Likewise, intravascular imaging techniques (IVI), be it IVUS or optical coherence tomography (OCT), are of great use in assessing and guiding complex coronary lesions and<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2024/03/27/virtual-flow-reserve-vfr-virtual-physiological-test-with-oct/" title="Read more" >...</a>
