Percutaneous femoro-femoral bypass: a hemodynamic strat...
Dr. Carlos Fernández Pereira

Gallardo Galeas et al. publish in this issue1 a clinical case of complex coronary angioplasty with iVAC2L ventricular assistance in a patient with severely deteriorated ejection fraction. The device allowed for the stabilization of blood pressure and successful revascularization without complications. This report clearly illustrates the value of the iVAC2L as effective pulsatile hemodynamic s...

Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as acute renal failure occurring between 48 and 72 hours after the endovenous administration of iodinated contrast, without any other identifiable cause. It is characterized by an absolute increase in serum creatinine greater than or equal to 0.5 mg/dL, or a relative increase greater than or equal to 25% compared with the patient’s baseline v...

Yamandú Leaden y cols.

The incidence of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring renal replacement therapy by means of hemodialysis has increased over recent decades, due to population aging, improved survival of these patients, and the high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. Arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are the vascular access of choice for hemodialysis, and their proper functioning is essentia...

Pedro Gallardo Galeas y cols.

Percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCI) in patients with complex anatomy and significant comorbidities is an increasing clinical challenge, especially considering the aging population and the rise of ischemic heart failure. The term “high-risk angioplasty” does not have a single definition, but it commonly refers to procedures in patients with a combination of the following:...

Jeremías Bayón (ORCID 0000-0001-8973-3005) y cols.

The percutaneous treatment of complex coronary artery disease in elderly patients with significant comorbidities is still a therapeutic challenge. In calcified lesions, adequate plaque preparation is essential in order to achieve optimal expansion of the implanted device and to reduce late adverse events. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has emerged as an effective and safe tool for modif...

Juan Pablo Lerner y cols.

Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most prevalent valvular heart diseases, affecting 1.3% of individuals over 65 years of age. About 0.7% present moderate-to-severe disease. Severe degenerative AS is predominantly seen in older adults; therefore, its prevalence is increasing due to population aging. In contrast, bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a congenital condition that adds further complexit...


Caso Clínico

Percutaneous closure of mitral paravalvular leak
Federico I Weckesser (ORCID: 0000-0001-5767-0927) y cols.

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a well-known complication after surgical valve replacement, with an estimated incidence ranging from 2% to 10% depending on valve and prosthesis type. Its clinical presentation may vary from asymptomatic cases to severe heart failure, hemolytic anemia, and endocarditis. Management of PVL depends on regurgitation severity and presence of symptoms. Surgical reinterven...

Giovanni Martínez (ORCID: 0009-0009-4818-9889) y cols.

Vascular complications are among the most relevant adverse events of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). They are associated with high in-hospital and short-term morbidity and mortality1. Despite advancements in preoperative planning with computed tomography angiography and the use of low-profile introducers, these complications are still a considerable clinical challenge2. Tools ...


Carta del Presidente

Letter from the President of CACI
Dr. Juan José Fernández

Dear colleagues and friends. In this letter—and in alignment with previous editorial remarks made by our President-elect, Dr. Alfredo Bravo—I would like to reinforce the call for active participation of all our CACI members. I would like to highlight the existence of our Code of Ethics, voted upon during Assembly and available to all members, which is not mere formality ...
