Session I: CHRONIC TOTAL OCCLUSION Session II – CALCIFIED LESSIONS Session III – CORONARY BIFURCATIONS Session IV – VENTRICULAR ASSISTANCE IN PATIENTS IN SHOCK AND NEW DEVICES IN DECOMPENSATED HEART FAILURE
We are glad to invite you to the opening of the SOLACI’s Complex Percutaneous Interventions Department (CHIP LATAM) that will take place on January 21 and 22, 2022. The activity has been divided into 2 modules of 4 hours a day and will feature over 25 keynote speakers and prestigious international guests who will be...
In surgically ineligible patients with complex coronary anatomy short term risk of death with PCI is considerably lower than the estimated surgical risk. These are the outcomes of the OPTIMUM registry, presented during the TCT scientific sessions. The good short-term outcomes highlight the importance of trying percutaneous revascularization to treat complex patients. The current data...

The predecessor of this research—RIPCORD, published in 2014—showed that using fractional flow reserve (FFR) changes the treatment strategy in about 25% of patients. That marked the rise of FFR. In fact, the DEFER, FAME, and FAME 2 studies offered results consistent with the original RIPCORD. In this research, authors tested the hypothesis of systematic use of...

The 1-month outcomes of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by clopidogrel monotherapy were comparable to 12-month DAPT in patients with both simple and complex PCI. There was no significant interaction between DAPT period and procedure difficulty. This is a post hoc study of the STOPDAPT-2 that looked at the complex PCI patient subgroup. It is...
We had to wait for it, but we have finally seen a benefit in hard endpoints—such as mortality—derived from rechanneling. Patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) in whom rechanneling was used as initial strategy showed higher survival rated compared with those receiving medical therapy. As initial treatment strategy, rechanneling a CTO did not show any...
Despite robust information supporting the use of intravascular imaging during coronary angioplasty, its use in clinical practice remains low. This paper proposes using an algorithm for decision-making throughout the procedure to promote increased intravascular imaging use. Regardless of the many technologies that have been incorporated into strut design struts and polymer type, the rate of...
This large cohort of patients undergoing PCI for chronic total occlusion has shown suboptimal recanalization is associated with cardiac death and myocardial infarction at long term compared against procedural failure. The link between acute outcomes and long-term events in recanalizations has been overlooked. Mainly when it comes to suboptimal results, is doing something more trouble...
