Below, we share some of the presentations that were made during the Sessions. Dra. Carla...
The prevalence of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is significant; its prognosis is well known, and severe TR stages are associated with higher mortality and hospitalization for cardiac failure (CF). Seeing as valve disease tends to evolve over time, in advanced stages, we usually check on patients at specified intervals for early identification of potential hemodynamic complications...
The progression of aortic stenosis has been extensively studied and is well-known. As observed, in its advanced stages, this condition entails high morbidity and a marked decrease in survival. Both North American and European guidelines recommend treatment when faced with severe valve disease. However, true severity can be difficult to determine due to discordant data,...
During SOLACI-SBHCI 2023, our traditional education program for young interventionists ProEducar Fellows Course was held. Discover the presentations of the prestigious interventionists that made part of this 13th edition here below. Dr. Gustavo Vignolo (UY) – “Trigger: STEMI learning clinical case” PRESENTATION Dr. Roger Renault Godinho (BRA) – “Why and how should I use Radial access? Step by Step” PRESENTATION...
The presence of cardiogenic shock (CS) in a setting of aortic stenosis ranges from 1% to 4%. The prognosis for this scenario is ominous due to subendocardial ischemia, which presents as a decrease in ventricular preload and an increase in afterload. Aortic valvuloplasty has been used in this context, but, unfortunately, it has been associated...
The second group of Women Interventionists sponsored by SOLACI has started the training on structural disease as part of our scholarship program at the Instituto Cardiovascular de Rosario (ICR). The program will take place over the course of this week in different centers across Argentina. During the session, the grant holders were able to attend...
Moderate aortic stenosis (MAS) encompasses a broader spectrum than severe aortic stenosis. However, its progression has not yet been fully elucidated. While there are reports suggesting that this condition is not as benign as initially believed, there is a need to consider early interventions in certain instances. Researchers conducted an analysis from January 2016 to...
The second day of the SOLACI/SBHCI 2023 Congress, the largest interventional cardiology meeting in Latin America, organized by the Latin American Society of Interventional Cardiology (SOLACI) and the Brazilian Society of Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology (SBHCI), held in Rio de Janeiro, featured various national and international guests, along with important sessions on the main topics...
Today, the SOLACI SBHCI 2023 Congress, the largest interventional cardiology event in Latin America, organized by the Latin American Society of Interventional Cardiology (SOLACI) and the Brazilian Society of Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology (SBHCI), began in Rio de Janeiro. The event is taking place between August 2nd August 4th at the Windsor Convention Center &...
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...
