Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated a specialized outpatient care model called the radial lounge (RL) for same-day discharge (SDD) after elective percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), highlighting its safety and resource efficiency.
- - Results showed that the SDD rate was significantly higher in the RL group (85.2%) compared to a traditional hospitalization area (54%), with improved patient satisfaction and no increase in major adverse cardiac events (MACEs).
- - Overall, the RL model demonstrated effective implementation of SDD, leading to increased elective PCI volumes and a positive patient experience while maintaining safety standards.
Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) represents the most advanced stage of lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). The aim of this manuscript is to provide an overview of the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with lower-limb peripheral artery disease, as well as the procedural and technical aspects of peripheral endovascular interventions in Latin-America.
Methods: The SOLACI peripheral registry is a prospective, multi-center, observational, and hospital-based registry of patients with lower-limb PAD, who are treated with endovascular interventions across Latin American countries.
There are increasing reports of a drastic drop in consultations and cardiovascular procedures (including urgencies and emergencies) in regions affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a consequent marked increase in total mortality that is not fully explained by COVID-19. Cardiovascular disease leads the ranking in deaths in adults in Argentina with 280 deaths per day, and in recent decades we have reduced its mortality by 20-30% through various evidence-based interventions. Herein we conducted predictive analyses to understand what could be the consequences of a worse implementation of those interventions.
