Has been implanted the first bio in Spain device

-two interventions with this revolutionary type of stents, is carried out on the morning of the last Wednesday in the Hospital Clínico San Carlos Madrid, carried out by Dr. Carlos Macaya, Chief of the cardiology service and President of the Spanish society of Cardiology (SEC); the DRA. Rosa Ana Hernández Antolín, section chief of the unit of hemodynamics and Cardiovascular Institute interventional cardiology and DRA. Nieves Gonzalo, doctor hemodynamic attached

-interventions are part of the research study Absorb Extend, which analyzes the metabolization of coronary device

-bioabsorbable device functions the regular stent, but degrade over time, disappearing completely from the body of the patient in less than a year

Madrid, 2010-December the Spanish Cardiology Society (SEC) is pleased to announce the introduction of the first device bio Spain.

Throughout the morning of last Wednesday, has been made two speeches that had been introduced, for the first time in Spain, this revolutionary type of stent to two patients with coronary heart disease. These operations have taken place in the Hospital Clínico San Carlos Madrid, carried out by Dr. Carlos Macaya Chief of service of Cardiology and Chairman of the SEC; the DRA. Rosa Ana Hernández Antolín, section chief of the unit of hemodynamics & interventional cardiology of the Cardiovascular Institute of the Hospital Clínico San Carlos of Madrid and DRA. Nieves Gonzalo, Assistant physician of hemodynamics.

Interventions are part of the research study Absorb Extend that analyzes the metabolization of coronary device to demonstrate the incredible benefits of this type of devices on the patient but “ is very likely that in 2012 and we find this type of stents in Spanish hospitals on a regular basis ”, explains Dr. Carlos Macaya.

In recent times, the Interventional Cardiology has come a long way thanks to the advent of stents, significantly reducing the mortality and morbidity in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Even so, it is necessary to continue working in this area to improve the safety of patients that carry this type of prosthesis, because during the first year, between 1.5 and 3 per cent of them suffer a late thrombosis and 0.6 per cent per annum make it past this period.

The late thrombosis responds to the formation of a blood clot in the metal structure of the stent, that can lead to a sudden and unexpected attack with serious clinical consequences. A long-lasting with antiplatelet therapy is needed to treat.

Although the percentages of patients suffering from side effects with traditional stents are very low, to avoid these inconveniences, the technology has continued to make progress up to create the bioabsorbable devices.

This type of device serves the usual stent but is transient, degrades over time until eventually disappear completely from the body of the patient in a period of between two months and one year. These new devices also allow the patient passed this time, enjoy a few arteries returning to dilate and shrink according to the needs of the Agency. The vessels return to behave dynamically.

Bioabsorbable devices consist of non-toxic polymers, such as acid, poliláctido or magnesium alloys. The particles are excreted and metabolized in the same way that the points of suture.

“ The device has the potential to revolutionize how we treat the patients with coronary artery disease. In fact, if this therapeutic option continues to function as indicated by the promising data so far, could benefit from it virtually all cases of angioplastias in Spain, which are more than 70,000 patients annually ”, concludes Dr. Macaya.

Was born the “Club cardiosaludable Riojano”, an initiative of Hospital Viamed Los Manzanos in collaboration with the Fundación Caja Rioja.

Logroño, 2011-January the head of culture of the Caja Rioja Foundation, Carmen Fernández, and the Communications Director of the Viamed group, Concepción Roussel, presented yesterday, Monday, January 17, the “Club Cardiosaludable Riojano”, a monthly event for people interested in cardiovascular health which took place at the Centre Cultural Caja Rioja-Gran Víacoordinated by the cardiologist Julio Martinez Florez and will feature the regular collaboration of clinical psychologist Rosa María Hidalgo.

The objective is to promote a meeting place for patients and people interested in information on the prevention of cardiovascular disease but by suffering from first-person, or have affected families and to prevent the consequences of a disease that causes more mortality in industrialized countries. The first event will take place today, Tuesday, January 18, at 19.30 hours, which will be discussed on the ‘ percutaneous aortic prosthesis. A hope for the future ’, in charge of the cardiovascular surgeon Ignacio Gallo, Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery and hemodynamics of the Hospital Viamed Los Manzanos service.

The doctor will speak about one of the most innovative techniques in the cardiovascular surgery for the establishment of prosthetics without having to resort to traditional surgery and that he used with great success recently to introduce an aortic prosthesis to a Riojan of 84 years in Hospital Viamed Los Manzanos. This type of intervention with latest generation material and have started to apply is barely a year, they are very costly economically and indicated in patients, but by old age or other medical circumstances, is not suitable riding traditional intervention.

The rest of meetings of the ‘ Club cardiosaludable Riojano ’, only in La Rioja, are the days of February 1, February 8, March 15, March 29 and April 5 and it shall be composed of lectures and workshops. The conferences, as well as classrooms, will have a sign language interpreter to facilitate accessibility for people with hearing disabilities to them.

In La Rioja, if we analyse the mortality by age, we note that cardiovascular diseases are among the three leading causes of death in the age group of 45 to 54 years, men, and from 65 to 74 years for women. After 75 years, these diseases occupy first place in both sexes.

According to the latest study published on the risk factors in La Rioja, is 50 per cent of diagnosed patients do not adequately control their life habits. Thus emerges from the study by 56.4% showed values colesterolemia high (61% male, 52 per cent women); 46.3% had high blood pressure (53.4% male and 32.4 per cent women); they were smoking 31.8% (39% men and 25% women) and almost half the population was sedentary, being more this situation in women (61%) than men (42%). 12.3% Of the women and 13.5 per cent of men had obesity. The autonomous community of La Rioja, according to data from the national survey, more than the national average in childhood obesity and overweight in adulthood.

At least 36.9% of the population had a modifiable risk factor. Because of the ageing of the population and the persistence of risk factors, morbidity and mortality for a cardiovascular episode will increase over the coming decades, according to experts. And despite the knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors various studies show that the control of them is far from optimal.

Currently, the Caja Rioja Foundation and Hospital Viamed Los Manzanos develop monthly the ‘ health classroom ’, with the goal of making clear the commitment of these two institutions with the Riojan society and their health; bring health professionals to the people in an environment more close and direct; wake up and increase in Rioja the concern for the care and prevention of health information.

The cycle, which this year celebrates its third edition, is made up of eight conference scheduled for September 2010 to April 2011, and covers subjects as diverse and interesting as flu in chronic illness, children and TV, sleep apnea, Gynecologic Cancer, diabetes and eye, life after heart surgery, plastic surgery or the importance of stepping well.

The Hospital 12 de Octubre intervenes each year to over 150 children with heart disease congenital.

this Community Center has been designated as reference national for the comprehensive care of this infant pathology.

-More than 30 per cent of paediatric patient seized are infants

-the year is an average of 5,000 queries and 250 procedures and interventions to children

Madrid, 2011-January the Institute paediatric in the heart of the Hospital Universitario 12 October involved more than 150 pediatric patients a year with congenital heart diseases68 per cent of whom are less than a year and a 33 per cent of them infants. This hospital, which has been designated as a national focal point for the integral care of congenital heart disease in infant and child in the last Council Interterritorial of the Ministry of health, held last December, today received the visit of the Minister of health, Javier Fernández-Lasquetty.

Comprehensive assistance includes diagnosis and early treatment of the congenital heart disease, which is possible thanks to the Hospital 12 de Octubre has different units ranging from the detection of the disease in the fetus, to treatment through surgery – including extracorporeal circulation – or interventionist procedures, such as catheterization.

The paediatric Heart Institute, composed of surgeons Pediatric cardiologists and cardiac children, became operational in 1997. Its objectives include the diagnosis and early treatment of congenital diseases; the scientific exchange with other national and international professionals; the collaboration with other related medical services, hospital patients and associations of parents and relatives, and the profitability of the material and human resources.

a disease that affects one of every 1,000 births

according to the scientific literature, the heart diseases affect nine of every 1,000 live births to term. Approximately half of them considered serious, since that required surgery in the first weeks of life, primarily because of its complexity or impact on the functioning of the rest of the body. They are responsible for 50 percent of all child deaths attributable to defects. That is why they are considered the most frequent serious birth defects.

Given its importance, over 150 professionals from October 12 participate in diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment of this disease, benefiting a large number of patients under age from across the country. On average, performed annually in this Centre more than 5,000 consultations and almost 250 interventions and interventionist procedures in children with congenital heart diseases.

In this sense, the Hospital has a unit of Homodynamic child, launched in the year 2004, which is a pioneer in Spain and is equipped with equipment of last generation, whose features – biplane and digital – allow, for example, to obtain three-dimensional views and up to 30 images per second in the heart of the patients in real time. This makes possible a great precision in the medical practice, reducing the inconveniences related to the amount of contrast and recommended children radiation.

Diagnosis in fetuses by echocardiography

Hospital 12 de Octubre has also a unit of Fetal Medicine specializing in the detection of heart disease before birth.

This unit arrive each year approximately 600 pregnant women new to perform a fetal Echocardiogram, 40% coming from other autonomous communities. The follow-up of cases of congenital heart diseases detected in these pregnant women means that approximately 1,500 fetal ecocardiografías will score at the end of the year.

Fetal Medicine Unit is also national in the realization of valvuloplastias in fetuses, technical reference that allows to correct severe narrowing of the heart valves through dilation before birth. It’s a very complex procedure involving anaesthesia of the fetus inside the mother’s womb, while it remains awake, bearing in mind also that the size of his heart is less than a one euro coin.

In the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart diseases in the neonate and child also involved other units, such as the Neonatology Service, anesthesia infant and pediatric intensive care unit. Multidisciplinary participation and expertise of these professionals has allowed to achieve the national benchmark for diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of congenital heart diseases in infants and children.
