ROTA.shock Outcomes: Intravascular Lithotripsy vs. Rotational Atherectomy

At present, severe calcified coronary stenosis poses a significant challenge for PCI. A successful intervention will require plaque modification prior stenting, seeing as sub-expansion has been associated with worse clinical outcomes at followup.&nbsp; The tools normally used to treat these complex lesions include specialized balloons such as cutting, scoring, and high pressure balloons, as well<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/09/08/rota-shock-outcomes-intravascular-lithotripsy-vs-rotational-atherectomy/" title="Read more" >...</a>

MyVal Device in Non-Calcified Severe Aortic Regurgitation

Due to the proven long-term results and substantial increase in the number of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures conducted, the application of TAVI has been extended to clinical situations outside the original scope, such as non-calcified aortic regurgitation (NCAR). Device placement in these new scenarios entails a technical challenge due to the absence of<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/08/23/myval-device-in-non-calcified-severe-aortic-regurgitation/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Left Atrial Appendage Closure: As Effective in Men and Women?

Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia and to prevent its potential complications, we should administer anticoagulants (OACs), either warfarin or the new direct oral anticoagulants&nbsp;(DOACs).&nbsp; Even though these drugs have been shown effective, they still involve the risk of bleeding, especially gastrointestinal bleeding, which in turn leads to numerous hospitalizations.

Simplified Rapid Intravenous Hydration for the Prevention of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing coronary angiography are at increased risk of developing contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), which is associated with increased mortality. According to current guidelines, the standard treatment for preventing CA-AKI in patients with moderate to severe CKD is long-duration peri-procedural intravenous hydration with saline solution. This standard hydration is<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/07/13/simplified-rapid-intravenous-hydration-for-the-prevention-of-contrast-induced-nephropathy-in-patients-with-chronic-kidney-disease/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Cerebrovascular Events in the COAPT Study

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with MitraClip has demonstrated its benefit compared with complete guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), according to the results of the COAPT Study. While cerebrovascular events (CVE), such as stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), are rare, they can occur during the procedure (transseptal puncture, device positioning, or device release) or during follow-up<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/07/06/cerebrovascular-events-in-the-coapt-study/" title="Read more" >...</a>
