Antianginal Medication Before and After Rechanneling

Escalation or de-escalation of antianginal medication was less common than treatment continuation without change after a chronic total occlusion rechanneling, with little variation according to the site. Further research is needed to identify patients who would benefit (or not) from these drugs and to develop strategies to adjust treatment during follow-up. This work basically tells<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/06/20/antianginal-medication-before-and-after-rechanneling/" title="Read more" >...</a>

The FDA Affirms Mortality Signs with Paclitaxel Based Devices

Evidently, we are still uncertain. The information goes both ways, even on our own web page, we have been coming and going just like any other publication around the world. After a 2-day debate, the Circulatory System Devices FDA panel has confirmed the tendency to higher mortality with paclitaxel-based devices and is expected to debate<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/06/19/the-fda-affirms-mortality-signs-with-paclitaxel-based-devices/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Pulmonary Hypertension: No Reason for TAVR Contraindication

In most severe aortic stenosis patients with pulmonary hypertension, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) reduced pulmonary systolic pressure. There patients presented lower risk and lower all-cause mortality at short, median and long term. This data show that pulmonary hypertension should not be a TAVR contraindication. Pulmonary hypertension is common among TAVR patients.

Low-Risk TAVR Trending in All Papers

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in low-risk patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis appears to be safe at one year. In a follow-up using computerized tomography (TC), hypoattenuated leaflet thickening was observed in a minority of patients, but it did not have a long-term hemodynamic impact. It should be noted that the management strategy for<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/06/13/low-risk-tavr-trending-in-all-papers/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Safe for 80-Year-Olds. Should Nonagenarians be Withheld from TAVR?

According to this large global registry, mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is twice as high in nonagenarians as against the “younger” group (90 patients. Additionally, risk scores cannot be trusted given that on the one hand they were designed for patients with planned surgery, and on the other hand, they included few patients<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/06/11/safe-for-80-year-olds-should-nonagenarians-be-withheld-from-tavr/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Outpatient Rhythm Monitoring After TAVR Could Save Us from Some Pacemakers?

Delayed high-grade block after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) goes unnoticed in patients undergoing TAVR without prior conduction disorders because, most times, it takes place during hospitalization or immediately after the procedure. Right bundle branch block is a risk factor, but it has poor sensitivity for the prediction of high-grade blocks, and there may be<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/06/10/outpatient-rhythm-monitoring-after-tavr-could-save-us-from-some-pacemakers/" title="Read more" >...</a>

New Risk Factors: Air Pollution, Air Temperature, Pain, and Sleep Hours

Traditionally, we have used age, gender, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, and diabetes as cardiovascular risk factors. However, this new era (during which the changes made to care for our shared home, the planet, will play a key role) has seen the emergence of new factors such as pollution, noise, temperature, sleep hours, and air quality.<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2019/06/04/new-risk-factors-air-pollution-air-temperature-pain-and-sleep-hours/" title="Read more" >...</a>
