When it looked like the simplest techniques reach the best outcomes, along came the DK Crush studies. Indeed, after the COVIS III results in bifurcations, it appeared we had started to retrace our steps back to the foundation. The purpose of this study was to compare long term outcomes of the remarkably simple 1-stent strategy<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/06/29/bifurcations-a-long-return-journey/" title="Read more" >...</a>
The Latin American Society of Interventional Cardiology is proud to announce that the Latin American Clinical Guidelines on TAVR vs. SAVR on patients with severe aortic stenosis have been published. This high-quality scientific work was published in the Heart BMJ Journal and is the result of an arduous joint effort between SOLACI (through its Research<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/06/16/solaci-siac-latin-american-clinical-guidelines-on-tavr-vs-savr-published/" title="Read more" >...</a>
SOLACI’s SOLidario Program took part in the XLII Regional SOLACI Sessions in Venezuela, where a charitable intervention was performed in collaboration with the Venezuelan Society of Interventional Cardiology (SOVECI) and Caracas University Hospital. In this opportunity, physicians treated a 60-year-old patient with significant heart disease under study for acute myocardial infarction after thrombolysis. Coronary angiography identified<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/06/16/sol-solaci-program-took-part-in-the-venezuela-sessions-2021-with-a-new-charitable-case/" title="Read more" >...</a>
We invite you to revisit the XLII SOLACI Venezuela Sessions (14th Andean Region), and the XVIII SOVECI Congress held virtually on May 26-28, 2021. The event had 3 days of intense scientific activity with massive attendance, which is both a sign of major support and a challenge to continue promoting the best continuing medical education<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/21/venezuela-sessions-2021/" title="Read more" >...</a>
After one-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and ticagrelor, a net clinical benefit was observed when de-escalating to clopidogrel in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients treated with PCI. We have discussed the pros and cons of de-escalating from a potent antiplatelets Such as ticagrelor to clopidogrel since the TOPIC presented at EuroPCR in 2017.

The latest figures show a lower number of emergency CABG for acute MI, and in turn increased primary PCI. The combination of surgeons not willing to take risks and interventional cardiologists empowered to treat practically any lesion has resulted in fewer patients receiving emergency CABG. Only a few years ago, interventional cardiologists at least had<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/18/acc-2021-emergent-cabg-for-acute-mi-benefits-despite-risk/" title="Read more" >...</a>
Young or middle-aged patients who have already suffered a heart attack have almost twice as many adverse events when they continue to be under emotional stress after the initial suffering. The association between psychological factors and events is attenuated after making adjustments that include markers of inflammation such as interleukin-6. It follows that inflammation plays<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/18/acc-2021-stress-increases-events-in-young-patients-with-prior-mi/" title="Read more" >...</a>
