En este número desarrollamos temas fundamentales, como alergia al látex. Esta causa es un mimo que representa múltiples formas de presentación y además nos guía para interpretar las reacciones cruzadas que tiene el antígeno de látex en las diversas presentaciones: reacciones de hipersensibilidad inmediata (anafilaxia, urticaria, angioede...

Carlos Fernández Pereira

Venous thromboembolism, which includes both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Emerging mechanical thrombectomy devices such as ClotTriever and FlowTriever, along with other similar devices, offer new alternatives for the treatment of complex cases. In Argentina, these procedures are more and more fre...

Aortic stenosis. Questions and some answers
Arturo Cagide

In 1968, Ross and Braunwald1 published an article on the natural history of aortic stenosis (AS) that, in general, remains relevant today: the onset of symptoms indicates a reduced life expectancy (Figure 1). However, without questioning this assertion, three facts have substantially changed the scenario. The first is related to the increase in life expectancy, which leads to a higher in...

Medical radiation from X-rays and nuclear medicine is the largest source of man-made radiation exposure in Western countries, with an effective dose (ED) of 3.0 milliSievert (mSv) per person per year. This is equivalent to the dose administered in 150 chest X-rays1, 2. Natural background radiation worldwide is approximately 2.4 mSv. Cardiologists account for approximately 40% of the accumulat...

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a condition characterized by the extrinsic compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery and the spine, leading to deep vein thrombosis (DVT)1. This anatomical variant has been found in more than 20% of the population; however, it is rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with DVT. Anticoagulation alone is insuffi...

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death after myocardial infarction and stroke, with an overall 30-day mortality rate of approximately 10%. Management strategies for PE vary depending on disease severity.Patients with submassive or intermediate-risk PE who exhibit biochemical evidence of myocardial injury or findings of right ventricular (RV) dysfunctio...

Aortic aneurysms are defined as localized dilations that exceed 50% of their normal diameter. They are typically described by their location, size, morphological appearance, and origin. Aneurysms may be fusiform—the most common type—or saccular in shape. Thoracic AAs are rare (20% of cases)3 and they most commonly involve the aortic root, the ascending aorta, or both (60%), follow...

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease can have acute or chronic presentation. Lesions in the superficial femoral artery are among the leading causes of intermittent claudication or limb ischemia. Etiology is multi-factorial, generally involving genetic predisposition, associated with risk factors including advanced age, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension.&...

Intracoronary thrombi are a rare but significant cause of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), both with ST-segment elevation (STEACS) and without it (NSTEACS). Management of these cases remains a therapeutic challenge, as large thrombi pose specific risks during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), such as distal thrombus migration or the no-reflow phenomenon. In these cases, implementing bo...

When dealing with fibrotic and calcified coronary lesions, especially in cases where a stent is underexpanded, non-compliant (NC) balloons are an essential part in the interventional cardiologist toolbox. These balloons are designed with limited expansion capabilities, maintaining their diameter even at high pressure, which makes them ideal for post-dilation of underexpanded stents or the pre...

Letter from the President of CACI
Juan Fernández

Dear colleagues, I am writing these lines in our Journal with the intention of maintaining an open dialog with all CACI members. In my last communication, I mentioned that we were able to meet with the Argentine Minister of Health, Dr. Mario Russo, following our private agreement with Cardiología Unida group (formed by SAC, FAC, CAC, CACCV, FCA, ACVAA, FCVAA, SADEC, and CACI)...
