The third day of the Congress started at the Copacabana Arena with the International Live Case held at Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing, China, which showcased a successful and illustrative step-by-step Transcatheter Coronary Intervention (TCI) angioplasty with circulatory support and optimized results using Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) applicability. Following that, Dr. Fei Ye presented Intravascular Imaging and<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/08/05/solaci-sbhci-2023-scientific-coverage-day-3/" title="Read more" >...</a>

SCOPE I Results at 3 Years: ACURATE Neo vs. SAPIEN 3
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard treatment for elderly patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. While this has led to the development of new devices with different features, evidence from randomized studies on these new scaffolds is limited. The randomized SCOPE I study (Safety and Efficacy of the Symetis ACURATE Neo/TF Compared<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/07/24/scope-i-results-at-3-years-acurate-neo-vs-sapien-3/" title="Read more" >...</a>
No Reflow after Primary PCI in STEMI: An Angiographic Analysis of the TOTAL Study
In the early days of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI), no reflow phenomenon was known as an indicator of the worst possible outcomes in terms of left ventricular remodeling, infarct size, ejection fraction and mortality, at long term. The TOTAL study (Routine Aspiration Thrombectomy with PCI Versus<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/07/17/no-reflow-after-primary-pci-in-stemi-an-angiographic-analysis-of-the-total-study/" title="Read more" >...</a>
TAVR Durability at 5 Years in Intermediate Risk Patients
TAVR has been shown beneficial in patients across the risk spectrum. The PARTNER 2 SAPIEN 3 (P2S3i) study on intermediate risk patients was the first to show TAVR superiority vs SAVR when using the transfemoral approach. SAVR durability has been shown in different analysis but, except for a few reports, TAVR durability at long term<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/07/11/tavr-durability-at-5-years-in-intermediate-risk-patients/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Relationship between Distal Vessel Quality and Outcomes in the Treatment of Chronic Total Occlusions
Percutaneous treatment of chronic total occlusions has increase, and has become a a more habitual therapeutic challenge. However, there is limited information on distal vessel quality and its association with outcomes and techniques. This variable appears to be excluded form CTO scores, except for the RECHARGE (REgistry of CrossBoss and Hybrid procedures in FrAnce, the<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/07/06/relationship-between-distal-vessel-quality-and-outcomes-in-the-treatment-of-chronic-total-occlusions/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Aortic Stenosis and Cardiogenic Shock: Is TAVR an Option?
Cardiogenic shock (CS) in a setting of aortic stenosis is associated with high mortality rates. In consequence, surgery is generally not a possibility for this patient group, and they usually undergo aortic valvuloplasty, resulting in a mortality rate of 33%-50% at 30 days, 70% at one year, and 90% at two years.

VASC-OBSERVANT II Substudy: Impact of Vascular Complications after TAVR
At present, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become increasingly common to treat severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, with the transfemoral approach being the most common access strategy, associated to better outcomes vs. other access sites. Even though vascular complication rates (VC) have dropped given increased operation experience and improved devices, such as the use of<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/06/27/vasc-observant-ii-substudy-impact-of-vascular-complications-after-tavr/" title="Read more" >...</a>
