The Best of Main Arena, day 1

The Best of the SOLACI-SOCIME 2022 Main Arena: Complex PCI Guided by Intravascular Imaging

In the first session of SOLACI-SOCIME 2022 on “Complex angioplasty guided by intravascular imaging”, Dr. Alejandro Diaz (MEX) reviewed the evidence on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in complex angioplasties. A meta-analysis indicated its use is associated with a significant decrease in the risk of death, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and new target lesion revascularization (TLR) in<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/08/09/the-best-of-the-solaci-socime-2022-main-arena-complex-pci-guided-by-intravascular-imaging/" title="Read more" >...</a>

DISRUPT-PAD III: Seguimiento del tratamiento con IVL en territorio femoropoplíteo

DISRUPT-PAD III: Followup of IVL Treatment in Femoropopliteal Territory

Femoropopliteal segment calcification can generate complications for both preparation and execution of endovascular therapies for patients with peripheral artery disease. It can produce suboptimal vessel expansion associated to higher risk of dissection or perforation. These adverse effects can affect procedure durability in the long term.&nbsp; Studies on the use of drug coated balloons to treat<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/08/03/disrupt-pad-iii-followup-of-ivl-treatment-in-femoropopliteal-territory/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Resultados a 2 años de los stents liberadores de Zotarolimus vs stents libres de polímero liberadores de Biolimus. ¿Son seguros en pacientes con alto riesgo de sangrado?

Longitudinal Deformation of a Stent with the POT Technique

The fractal geometry of coronary bifurcations offers a mismatch between the proximal diameter of the main branch and the distal branches that make up the bifurcation. Angioplasty in this area can be performed through different techniques depending on plaque distribution, and the particular geometry of each bifurcation. Overall, and regardless of the strategy used, there<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/07/26/longitudinal-deformation-of-a-stent-with-the-pot-technique/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Progress-CTO Score: A Key New Tool to Plan CTO

Intervention of chronic total occlusions (CTO) through angioplasty (PCI) can cause complications, even in highly experienced centers. Plenty has been written on the probability of success for the treatment of CTOs using scores such as CL-SCORE, J-CTO, ORA, E-CTO, CASTLE-CTO, etc. (some of which are usually used when preparing these cases). However, besides estimating success<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/07/25/progress-cto-score-a-key-new-tool-to-plan-cto/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Thin vs. Ultrathin Stents: 1-Year Clinical Results After IVUS/OCT-Guided Implantation

Second generation drug-eluting stents have lower frequency of thrombotic complications and in-stent restenosis. While clinical results have significantly improved, having a 2-3% annual rate of these complications within the first year after angioplasty is still worrisome. This resulted in the development of stents with struts &lt;70 µm (ultrathin), with bioresorbable polymer and abluminal cover.

Same Day Discharge in NSTE-ACS: Is It Possible?

At present, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the most common coronary revascularization strategy. One of its benefits is that patients can be safely discharged when procedures are programed, which helps decompress hospital capacity.&nbsp; However, this strategy has not been validated for acute coronary syndromes; the evidence gathered for non-ST elevation ACS is far from robust,<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/07/11/same-day-discharge-in-nste-acs-is-it-possible/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Subutilización del tratamiento médico en enfermedad vascular periférica

Thromboendarterectomy vs. Endovascular Therapy in Common Femoropopliteal Territory. Is Surgery Still the Gold Standard?

For lesions in the common femoral artery, guidelines recommend surgical endarterectomy (TEA) as the gold standard. However, endovascular therapy (EVT) is an alternative option for these lesions.&nbsp; In 2017 the first randomized study comparing TEA vs EVT was carried out, showing that EVT presents clinical benefits, though it does not replace surgical treatment as first<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/07/11/thromboendarterectomy-vs-endovascular-therapy-in-common-femoropopliteal-territory-is-surgery-still-the-gold-standard/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: MRS or PCI? 10-Year Mortality of the SYNTAX Study

Percutaneous treatment of coronary lesions affecting bifurcations has increased in recent decades. Coronary angioplasty (percutaneous coronary intervention, PCI) in these cases is associated with an increased rate of adverse events in patients with multivessel disease and left main coronary artery lesions. The SYNTAX score, which is a predictor of total mortality, is used to evaluate<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/07/01/coronary-bifurcation-lesions-mrs-or-pci-10-year-mortality-of-the-syntax-study/" title="Read more" >...</a>
