AHA 2019 | Treat Stroke to Target: terapia agresiva con estatinas post stroke

Can We Deal with Learning Curves in Acute Stroke?

When an interventional cardiology center, where interventional cardiology specialists work alongside neurologists and radiologists, start a thrombectomy program in acute stroke, results achieved are similar to those at an interventional neurology center. Mechanical thrombectomy has proven to be the best treatment option for acute ischemic stroke. However, it is not widely available, mainly due to<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/17/can-we-deal-with-learning-curves-in-acute-stroke/" title="Read more" >...</a>

La clave para tratar strokes: saber cuando detenerse

The Key to Treating Stroke: Knowing When to Stop

With endovascular therapy as the standard of care in ischemic stroke and with a community of interventional cardiologists increasingly committed to assisting neurologists in providing 24/7 thrombectomy, staying informed is paramount. The number of thrombectomy attempts with retractable stent (>3) is associated with hemorrhagic transformation beyond age, baseline NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale)<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/11/the-key-to-treating-stroke-knowing-when-to-stop/" title="Read more" >...</a>

ST-Segment Elevation Infarction After TAVR: Problems in Every Aspect

For interventional cardiologists, treating an ST-segment elevation infarction in a patient with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is challenging in many ways. Longer door-to-balloon times and higher rates of primary angioplasty failure than in the general population are translated into very high short- and mid-term mortality. This multicenter study, recently published in JACC, included 118 patients<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/10/st-segment-elevation-infarction-after-tavr-problems-in-every-aspect/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Incidence, Predictors, and Results of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing TAVR

Acute kidney injury after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a well-known adverse event for all interventional cardiologists. However, it has been understudied: only small observational research has been conducted, showing too wide incidence rates. This research included all patients who underwent TAVR in the USA between 2016 and 2018, totaling over 100,000 patients.

SOLACI Sessions Changes Authorities

Dr. Gustavo Vignolo (Uruguay) has taken office as SOLACI Sessions Director after the successful administration of Doctor Mario Araya (Chile) in charge from 2017 to 2020. Doctor Vignolo is specialized in intensive care and cardiology. He was trained in interventional cardiology at the Clinical Hospital and the American Cardiological Center of Montevideo, Uruguay.

Dieta proinflamatoria y su potencial para desencadenar eventos cardiovasculares

Pro-Inflammatory Diet and Its Potential to Trigger Cardiovascular Events

As interventional cardiologists, we cannot delegate the responsibility of providing adequate advice on healthy habits. More importantly, we cannot be ignorant about them. Our medical intervention does not end with the final angiography; this is actually the beginning, since cardiovascular disease is chronic.  This paper assessed the important role played by inflammation on cardiovascular disease<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2020/11/16/pro-inflammatory-diet-and-its-potential-to-trigger-cardiovascular-events/" title="Read more" >...</a>
