RESUMEN
The Breast Cancer Revealed initiative was designed and conducted to know the status of breast cancer at each point of breast cancer care, through i) prevention, ii) detection, iii) diagnosis, iv) treatment, and iv) the capacity of our health systems. The expert panel from 11 Latin American countries identified several strategies and proposed high impact priorities, including implementation of prevention policies, improve primary healthcare capacity for breast cancer screening, have adequate infrastructure to make effective and timely diagnoses, have a multidisciplinary team in the treatment process, access to a variety of treatments for all types of patients, have a coordinated and articulated system from primary care to specialized hospital. In a region with limited resources, prioritization in high-impact strategies for breast cancer control could lead to improved clinical outcomes and quality of life for our patients.

El abordaje interhemisférico contralateral es una variante del abordaje interhemisférico transcalloso que permite optimizar el acceso a lesiones ubicadas en los ventrículos laterales o en sus paredes. La planificación del ángulo de entrada mediante neuronavegador nos permitió el manejo de un Cavernoma ubicado sobre el núcleo caudado e inmediato a la cápsula interna sin realizar callosotomía convencional ni comprometer las estructuras sensibles adyacentes.
Contralateral interhemispheric approach is a variant of the well-know interhemispheric transcallosal approach that allows to optimize the lateral wall ventricle lesions management. Neuronavigation planning allowed us to deal with a caudate nucleus cavernoma contiguous to internal capsule without conventional callosotomy and additional damage neither.

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery perforation associated to cardiac tamponade is an uncommon life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention, and the occurrence of subepicardial or intramyocardial hematoma without hemopericardium is even rarer. CLINICAL CASE: We describe the case of a 72 year-old woman with a subepicardial hematoma after percutaneous coronary intervention, who required urgent left internal mammary artery graft to anterior descending artery surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Subepicardial or intramyocardial hematoma must be considered when a coronary perforation is suspected in absence of hemopericardium. Transthoracic echocardiogram or computed tomography may be used to decide a conservative or invasive approach.
