Abbreviated Antiaggregant Treatment in High Bleeding Risk Patients from the MASTER-DAPT (15-Month Followup)

Benefits of abbreviated antiaggregant treatment in high bleeding risk patients.&nbsp; Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), established by different guidelines, reduces the risk of ischemic events at the expense of increased bleeding. This habitual APT strategy cannot be applied to patients at high risk of bleeding, which is why this populations are treated with shorter DAPT schemes<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/05/15/abbreviated-antiaggregant-treatment-in-high-bleeding-risk-patients-from-the-master-dapt-15-month-followup/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Intervention in Patients with Takayasu Arteritis: Rescue Therapy or an Alternative Complementary to Immunosuppressive Therapy?

Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is an uncommon granulomatous large-vessel vasculitis that affects the aorta and its primary branches. The most frequently types of observed vascular compromise are obstructive lesions, and aneurysmal vascular lesions or dissections. In 2021, the American College of Rheumatology recommended not to implement percutaneous intervention (PI) with these patients and only use immunosuppressive<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/01/18/intervention-in-patients-with-takayasu-arteritis-rescue-therapy-or-an-alternative-complementary-to-immunosuppressive-therapy/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Aspirina o clopidogrel post TAVI: Guías y estudios llenos de contradicciones

Angioplasty in Aspirin-Free Stable Patients with Prasugrel: Innovation Continues

Potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, have been tested mainly in a setting of acute coronary syndromes. There is little evidence on stable patients, particularly for prasugrel. Designing a study with that purpose seemed challenging enough, but adding aspirin discontinuation in patients without a particularly high bleeding risk took this research to<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/11/10/angioplasty-in-aspirin-free-stable-patients-with-prasugrel-innovation-continues/" title="Read more" >...</a>

La coronariografía precoz reduce la mortalidad en SCA sin supradesnivel del ST de alto riesgo

Early Coronary Angiography in High-Risk Non-ST-Elevation ACS

Coronary angiography is essential for patients admitted with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome, since it allows physicians to confirm the diagnosis, stratify the risk, and define the revascularization and antithrombotic management strategies. &nbsp; There is no doubt that these patients should be studied invasively, but the timing for that is still uncertain. &nbsp; Coronary catheterization within<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2017/10/09/early-coronary-angiography-in-high-risk-non-st-elevation-acs/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Con la salida del mercado del Absorb surgen nuevas plataformas bioabsorbibles

With Absorb Out, New Resorbable Scaffolds Have Come onto the Market

By restoring vascular physiology and eliminating the inflammatory focus and the chance of fracture and neo atherosclerosis inherent to DES, bioresorbable scaffolds offer the potential to improve long term outcomes. A number of bioresorbable materials have been tested, mainly polylactic acid, with several limitations that have taken the Absorb bioresorbable scaffold out of the market.<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2017/10/09/with-absorb-out-new-resorbable-scaffolds-have-come-onto-the-market/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Frecuencia y evolución de la perforación cardíaca en CRM previa

Frequency and Evolution of Cardiac Perforation in Patients with a History of MRS

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos&nbsp;Fava. Coronary perforation (CP) is a very uncommon event (≈0.4%), associated with severe complications that entail risk of death. It has usually been related to patients with a history of myocardial revascularization surgery (MRS). However, this group usually presents lower rates of cardiac tamponade due to pericardial fibrosis caused by surgery.

Sangrado y mortalidad en el reemplazo valvular aórtico por catéter

Bleeding and Mortality in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)&nbsp;is much less invasive than surgical replacement. This is associated with a substantial reduction in&nbsp;bleeding events (up to 60% less). However, clinically relevant bleeding is still present in one every four patients who undergo TAVR, which is associated with morbidity and mortality. &nbsp; Cases of bleeding are not uniform: they may<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2017/08/22/bleeding-and-mortality-in-transcatheter-aortic-valve-replacement/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Diferentes técnicas para mejorar los resultados en claudicación intermitente

Different Techniques for the Improvement of Outcomes in Intermittent Claudication

Peripheral vascular diseases&nbsp;affect over 20% of the population and can affect up to 30% of people with cardiovascular risk factors. The most important treatment points include modification of risk factors, exercise, optimal medical treatment, and timely revascularization. &nbsp; Given its lower risk of peri-procedural complications (when compared to surgery), endovascular therapy is generally the first<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2017/08/14/different-techniques-for-the-improvement-of-outcomes-in-intermittent-claudication/" title="Read more" >...</a>
