Conference description:
13th SOLACI Conference / 5th Central-American and Caribbean Region/17th International Symposium on Interventional Cardiology Coronary intervention in acute coronary syndrome with ST elevation. Nowadays, primary angioplasty is the most accurate procedure for percutaneous coronary intervention, while facilitated angioplasty has failed to prove benefits. The use of proper adjuvant therapy in order to guarantee success is very interesting. The topic will be addressed in masterly conferences. Besides, debates will be motivated by controversies among experts.  Acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation. The long-term mortality of the patients suffering from this syndrome is higher than that of the patients suffering the acute coronary syndrome with ST elevation. This is the reason why interventional approach is increasingly provided in the early stages of the disease. Percutaneous treatment for valve diseases. The results achieved in mitral and pulmonary valvuloplasties, as well as the recent introduction of percutaneous implantation of aortic valve prostheses and the repair in the mitral valve insufficiency are the new perspectives in interventional cardiology.                   Peripheral and carotid intervention. Nowadays, the technology and experience amassed in the field of interventional cardiology has made possible the percutaneous dilatation and implantation of stents in almost all of the vascular areas. Endovascular treatment of the aorta. The percutaneous implantations of aortic endoprosthesis in type B dissections, as well as in abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms are being consolidated as the techniques commonly chosen instead of vascular surgery. Percutaneous treatment for congenital cardiopathies. The close of interventricular and interauricular communications with occluder devices, together with coaortoplasty and other techniques, makes the treatment of congenital cardiopathies more human and prolong the quality of life and life expectancy in pediatric ages and adults. Non-invasive images of coronary disease. The development of echocardiography, multicut tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance and nuclear medicine is moving towards multimodality and guarantees the non-invasive diagnosis of ischemic cardiopathy. Percutaneous treatment of complex lesions. The approaches of unprotected trunk    lesions, bifurcations, chronic total occlusions and patients with multiarterial coronary diseases are increasingly common in hemodynamics laboratories, despite the strong controversy surrounding the results, compared to coronary revascularization surgery. State of the art of pharmacoactive stents. Several devices have been developed during the search for a solution to face restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions. However, only drug-eluting stents have managed to accomplish this objective. This technology has been improved, and new generations of stents promise to definitely solve the problem. Nevertheless, controversy regarding late thrombosis caused by the use of these devices still remains.   Language: Spanish/There will be Spanish-English simultaneous interpreting service in the working sessions appointed by the Scientific Committee.
