MIL Training More MIL: Training Session at ICBA!

The scholarship program MIL Training More MIL continues at specialized centers in Buenos Aires. Yesterday, (Tuesday 26/09), selected female interventionists attended the Cardiovascular Institute of Buenos Aires (ICBA), where an intense session on structural heart disease took place.&nbsp; There were 2 live cases on bicuspid valve and complex access, transfemoral and trans-iliac respectively, both with<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/09/28/mil-training-more-mil-training-session-at-icba/" title="Read more" >...</a>

MIL Train More MIL: The Second Week of Training Has Started!

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.&nbsp; During the session, the grant holders were able to attend<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/09/27/mil-train-more-mil-the-second-week-of-training-has-started/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation: Impact on Post-Procedural Gradient

Primary or degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) occurs frequently. Even though surgery continues to be the standard treatment at present, it remains risky for one group of patients, which makes edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (MV-TEER) a viable alternative.&nbsp; We are well aware that moderate to severe MR is associated with worse prognosis. However, post procedural mean<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/08/23/degenerative-mitral-regurgitation-impact-on-post-procedural-gradient/" title="Read more" >...</a>

EASTBOURNE Registry: Use of Sirolimus-Coated Balloons in Coronary Artery Disease

The introduction of drug coated balloons (DCB) has become an innovative therapeutic alternative to current treatments. Paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCB) have been used to treat in-stent restenosis (ISR) and also approach CAD in native arteries. More recently, sirolimus-coated balloons (SCB) are being looked at as part of pilot studies and smaller registries with preliminary results.&nbsp; The<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/08/23/eastbourne-registry-use-of-sirolimus-coated-balloons-in-coronary-artery-disease/" title="Read more" >...</a>

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<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2023/08/03/solaci-sbhci-2023-scientific-coverage-day-2/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Isquemia crítica de miembros inferiores: las re-hospitalizaciones frecuentes muestran la magnitud del problema

BEST-CLI: Revascularization of Critical Lower Limb Ischemia, a Pragmatic Study

Critical lower limb ischemia (CLLI) is associated with a major deterioration in quality of life and a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Its estimated annual incidence is 220 to 3500 cases per million people, with an expected prevalence of 11% of patients with peripheral arterial disease. CLLI is the “terminal” stage of peripheral artery<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/11/22/best-cli-revascularization-of-critical-lower-limb-ischemia-a-pragmatic-study/" title="Read more" >...</a>

¿Hay diferencias entre mujeres y hombres luego de una intervención percutánea?

Sex Differences According to Thrombus Burden in STEMI Patients

Many studies have shown there is higher mortality and complications among women after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) vs. men, especially after 30 days. Even though the mechanism driving higher mortality remains uncertain, recent studies have seen differences in thrombus formation with increased platelet count among women. In STEMI patients, intracoronary thrombus burden is a predictor<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/11/18/sex-differences-according-to-thrombus-burden-in-stemi-patients/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Disección coronaria espontánea: ¿Hay diferencias entre hombres y mujeres?

Coronary Artery Dissection and Cardiogenic Shock: How Do They Evolve?

Spontaneous coronary artery dissections (SCD) are more frequent in women and account for about 25% of all acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) before the age of 50. While the presence of cardiogenic shock due to AMI is infrequent, its evolution is still somewhat unclear and it has not been fully analyzed.

DISRUPT-PAD III: Seguimiento del tratamiento con IVL en territorio femoropoplíteo

DISRUPT-PAD III: Followup of IVL Treatment in Femoropopliteal Territory

Femoropopliteal segment calcification can generate complications for both preparation and execution of endovascular therapies for patients with peripheral artery disease. It can produce suboptimal vessel expansion associated to higher risk of dissection or perforation. These adverse effects can affect procedure durability in the long term.&nbsp; Studies on the use of drug coated balloons to treat<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/08/03/disrupt-pad-iii-followup-of-ivl-treatment-in-femoropopliteal-territory/" title="Read more" >...</a>
