EMINENT Trial | Stent Eluvia vs BMS in Femoropopliteal Territory Endovascular therapy in femoropopliteal territory has become the standard, mainly with self-expanding stents, aimed at preventing early vascular recoil and late constrictive remodeling. Thromboendarterectomy vs. Endovascular Therapy in Common Femoropopliteal...
Peripheral artery disease hinders patient quality of life extensively. In advanced stages, such as critical lower limbs ischemia (CLLI), it could yield an increased risk in major cardiovascular events, as well as limb-related events (amputation or repeat revascularization), making treatment with revascularization paramount in these cases. Calcification is a predictor of revascularization failure, which is...
Spontaneous coronary artery dissections (SCD) are more frequent in women and account for about 25% of all acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) before the age of 50. While the presence of cardiogenic shock due to AMI is infrequent, its evolution is still somewhat unclear and it has not been fully analyzed. Researchers conducted an analysis in...
Endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal lesions has become the first-line treatment due to the development of devices that decrease the restenosis rate. Recently, the IMPERIAL study showed greater patency at 1 year and greater freedom from clinically guided revascularization at 2 years in favor of the ELUVIA stent (paclitaxel-eluting fluoropolymer, FP-DES) compared with the ZILVER PTX...
Coronary physiology, FFR and iFR, has been shown safe to defer lesions and effective to save stents by different randomized studies and registries. However, patients with chronic kidney disease have not been thoroughly analyzed yet, which brings us to the question about what to do in the face of their negative evolution, when atherosclerosis develops...
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) has been under-studied and under-recognized in comparison with ischemic heart disease and stroke, despite its well-known impact on quality of life and its associated morbidity and mortality. According to a systematic review, it was estimated that in 2015 about 238 million people globally had PVD. This number is on the rise....

Introduction Chronic total occlusion (CTO) represents the most challenging setting for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and multivessel coronary disease (MCD) is often treated in a staggered manner and in a deferred procedure. Although transfemoral is one of the common access site, the transradial access (TRA) has been used with similar procedural success [1]. The distal...
Here is a new SOLACI PERIPHERAL Case! In this opportunity, Dr. Ana Paula Mollón (Arg.) presents “Common, Superficial and Deep Femoral Artery Recanalization”. This is the 6th clinical case presented by SOLACI Peripheral. The purpose of this space is to encourage and further the exchange of experiences and opinions, to keep advancing our knowledge in...
