Here is a new SOLACI PERIPHERAL Case! In this opportunity, Dr. Daniel Zanuttini (Arg.) presents “Type Ib Endoleak Correction in Patient After Minimally Invasive Hybrid Treatment in Type A Aortic Disection”. This is the 8th clinical case presented by SOLACI Peripheral. The purpose of this space is to encourage and further the exchange of experiences...
Asymptomatic aortic stenosis has been keeping us in tense stillness. However, there are new markers capable of identifying patients that might benefit from earlier intervention. In this regard, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been gaining its well-deserved place in cardiology and now more specifically in aortic stenosis. This study sought to validate CMR markers of...
Most post-angioplasty findings with optical coherence tomography (OCT) were not associated with clinical adverse events. Exceptions were small intra-stent area, and significant malapposition. Suboptimal findings after angioplasty are very common (almost expected), although their clinical implications are uncertain. This registry—recently published in JACC—was developed in an attempt to answer these questions. The analysis included a...
After 2.5 years of non-stop racing, ultrathin-strut drug-eluting stents (DES) reached the finish line before 2nd generation thin-strut DES. The advantage was in terms of clinically justified lesion revascularization, while rates of infarction, stent thrombosis, cardiac death, and all-cause death were similar. After failure at trying to create new generations of DES based on drugs...

The number of people with post-COVID-19 syndrome seems to be growing exponentially, so we need long-term data to help physicians advise patients correctly. Among the many persistent symptoms, post-COVID-19 anosmia has good prognosis and almost full recovery at 1 year. In April, 2020, these same authors published a cohort of almost 100 COVID-19 positive patients (positive...
In healthy adults, two doses of the NVX-CoV2373 (Novavax) vaccine has an efficacy of almost 90% against SARS-CoV-2 infection in all severity types. Furthermore, it has proven to be effective against the alpha variant (B.1.1.7). The Novavax vaccine is a recombinant nanoparticle containing full-length spike glycoprotein. It had already been shown to be safe and...
The novel technology of drug-eluting stent Supreme was designed to synchronize antiproliferative drug release and leave a base behind to promote healing. Accelerated endothelial healing after antiproliferative drug release may limit the long-term inflammatory response. This multicenter, single-blind study included 1600 patients who were randomized 2:1 to receive drug-eluting stent Supreme vs. a classic permanent-polymer everolimus-eluting...
The international registry TRANSIT has shown treating degenerated transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) with a second TAVR is safe and effective. These finding are of crucial importance to the definite adoption of TAVR in the lower risk, younger population. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has determined a paradigm shift in severe aortic stenosis treatment. Technological innovation...
New SOLACI PERIPHERAL clinical case to keep learning among peers! Dr. Carlos Eduardo Díniz Couto shares a “Nutcracker” case from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This is the 7th clinical case presented by SOLACI Peripheral on the SOLACI website. This space is intended to further promote and share experiences and opinions in order to continue improving our...
