ST-Segment Elevation Infarction After TAVR: Problems in Every Aspect

For interventional cardiologists, treating an ST-segment elevation infarction in a patient with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is challenging in many ways. Longer door-to-balloon times and higher rates of primary angioplasty failure than in the general population are translated into very high short- and mid-term mortality. This multicenter study, recently published in JACC, included 118&nbsp;patients<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/10/st-segment-elevation-infarction-after-tavr-problems-in-every-aspect/" title="Read more" >...</a>

TCT 2020 | New Information about Pre and Post PCI FFR Value

The TARGET FFR and DEFINE-FLOW studies were presented at TCT 2020 which have offer a deeper perspective on the value of FFR, not only before but also after PCI. TARGET FFR The TARGET FFR included 260 patients randomized after angiographically successful PCI to an FFR guided optimization vs. blinded FFR assessment strategies.&nbsp; In the guided<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/10/21/tct-2020-new-information-about-pre-and-post-pci-ffr-value/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Natural History of Severe and Asymptomatic Carotid Lesions

Deciding whether to intervene a severe (70-80%) carotid lesion in an asymptomatic patient is challenging. We know the margin of error is small and an excess of events caused by the intervention could tilt the scales. However, the updated information on the natural evolution of these lesions is scarce.

Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis: Do We Have All the Answers?

Advancements in therapies to reduce the impact of stroke in asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis have been hard to come by over the last decade. Several points of disagreement among published randomized trials prevented their information from being integrated into daily clinical practice. However, over the past 5&nbsp;years, there has been some alignment, allowing for this<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/05/11/asymptomatic-carotid-artery-stenosis-do-we-have-all-the-answers/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Predilatación en TAVI ¿Datos definitivos para no complicarse tomando decisiones?

Predilation in TAVR: Definitive Data for Easier Decision-Making?

Direct implantation (without predilation) resulted non-inferior vs. the conventional strategy with prior balloon aortic valvuloplasty using the S3 prosthesis (even though this did not translate into a simplified procedure). In a few patients, the prosthesis was not able to cross the native valve, which resulted in device retrieval and subsequent valvuloplasty.

Paladin: New Carotid Protection System with Good Results

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) with a cerebral protection system has emerged as an alternative to surgery, particularly for patients with high surgical risk. Nowadays, there are a considerable number of cerebral protection systems, but these may sometimes fail due to anatomical issues, the diameter of embolized particles, or placement difficulties (among<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/03/27/paladin-new-carotid-protection-system-with-good-results/" title="Read more" >...</a>
