Intracardiac Echocardiography to Guide Watchman Left Atrial Appendix Closure: Safe and Effective?

Left atrial appendix closure (LAAC) has become a frequent intervention for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) that make poor candidates for anticoagulation. However, it presents a complication with negative impact on procedural outcomes which is peridevice leak.&nbsp; To reduce these complications, we use intra-procedural imaging, the transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) being the most<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/03/02/intracardiac-echocardiography-to-guide-watchman-left-atrial-appendix-closure-safe-and-effective/" title="Read more" >...</a>

FLASH Registry: Mechanical Thrombectomy with FlowTriever

Prospective registry of PTE patients who underwent FlowTriever, with 6&nbsp;months of follow-up. The clinical relevance of interventional treatment in pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is often discussed, and no clinical studies have demonstrated a decrease in “hard” outcomes such as mortality. However, in recent years the use of catheter-directed therapies has increased, either through its main indication,<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/03/02/flash-registry-mechanical-thrombectomy-with-flowtriever/" title="Read more" >...</a>

TAVR and New Onset LBBB

The safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is already established. However, it still poses a challenge for conduction disturbances, such as the need for pacemaker or new onset left bundle branch block (LBBB). The current rate for the latter ranges from approximately 11% to 19%. In most cases, 50% of LBBB reverses<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/01/31/tavr-and-new-onset-lbbb/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Resistant Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Myomectomy or Septal Ablation?

Approximately 70% of hypertrophic cardiomyopathies (HCM) are associated to a left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and mitral valve failure leading to dyspnea and cardiac failure in a high number of patients.&nbsp; Even though at present there are effective drug treatments combined with pacemaker implantation, surgery (septal myomectomy (SM) continues to be the first choice<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/01/25/resistant-obstructive-hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy-myomectomy-or-septal-ablation/" title="Read more" >...</a>

FRAME-AMI: FFR vs. Angiography of Non-Culprit Vessel in ACS

This study compared fractional flow reserve (FFR) vs. angiography to guide the angioplasty of non-culprit vessels in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and multivessel disease. Landmark studies such as COMPLETE, COMPARE-ACUTE and DANAMI-3-PRIMULTI have demonstrated the prognostic value of revascularization (after treatment of the artery responsible for the ACS) of non-culprit arteries with respect<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/01/25/frame-ami-ffr-vs-angiography-of-non-culprit-vessel-in-acs/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Non-ST Elevation MI: How Long Do We Have for A Coronary Angiography?

This summary discusses the early invasive strategy and the risk of mortality in non-ST-elevation AMI. Over the past 2 decades, mortality and complications rates have seen a significant reduction thanks to technological and pharmaceutical development, and the increasing experience of health teams. This is especially true when we look at the use of coronary angiography<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/01/20/non-st-elevation-mi-how-long-do-we-have-for-a-coronary-angiography/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Secondary Mitral Regurgitation: Stages of Heart Failure and Prognostic Implications after Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair

We are already familiar with the strong impact of secondary mitral valve regurgitation (SMR) in survival and quality of life. &nbsp;Most of these patients present heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Stages of heart failure based on extra-mitral cardiac involvement has been shown relevant.
