Left ventricular reverse remodeling but not clinical improvement predicts long-term survival after cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Yu CM, Bleeker GB, Fung JW, Schalij MJ, Zhang Q, van der Wall EE, Chan YS, Kong SL, Bax JJ
Background: In patients with severe heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves left ventricular (LV) systolic function associated with LV reverse remodeling and favorable 1-year survival. However, it is unknown whether LV reverse remodeling translates into a better long-term prognosis and what extent of reverse remodeling is clinically relevant, which were investigated in this study. Methods and results: Patients (n=141) with advanced heart failure...

Local perivascular delivery of anti-restenotic agents from a drug-eluting poly(epsilon-caprolactone) stent cuff.
Pires NM, van der Hoeven BL, de Vries MR, Havekes LM, van Vlijmen BJ, Hennink WE, Quax PH, Jukema JW
The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) to prevent in-stent restenosis is one of the major advances in interventional cardiology. Currently many types of DES are under evaluation for effectiveness and safety, a time-consuming and difficult procedure in humans. An animal model that allows rapid evaluation of the present and upcoming therapeutic approaches to prevent in-stent restenosis is most valuable and still lacking. Here, a perivascular cuff to induce restenosis was constructed of a po...

[Retroperitoneal haematoma seen on CT scan in 2 patients with abdominal symptoms, aneurysm of the abdominal aorta and normal haemodynamics].
van der Laan L, Nagel PH, Lohle PN, van Berge Henegouwen DP, Hamming JF
In 2 patients, men aged 73 and 66 undergoing physical and ultrasound examinations for complaints of abdominal pain, an aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (AAA) with a diameter of 7-8 cm was discovered. Both their blood pressure and heart rate were normal. The older man then underwent a CT scan as did the younger man after being observed overnight. They both proved to have a ruptured AAA. They were operated on and recovered well. It can be problematic to diagnose a ruptured AAA quickly in patients w...

The use of stress echocardiography for prognostication in coronary artery disease: an overview.
Biagini E, Elhendy A, Bax JJ, Schinkel AF, Poldermans D
Purpose of review: Stress echocardiography has a high accuracy for the detection of coronary artery disease. Additionally, it provides clinically useful prognostic information, such as resting left ventricular function, myocardial viability, stress-induced ischemia, vascular extent of wall motion abnormalities, and changes in end-systolic volume and ejection fraction with stress. Recent developments: The timing, extent, and severity of the stress-induced wall motion abnormalities are important d...

Gut permeability in neonates after a stage 1 Norwood procedure.
Malagon I, Onkenhout W, Klok M, van der Poel PF, Bovill JG, Hazekamp MG
Objective: Intestinal mucosal ischemia can occur during and after cardiac surgery. Severe decreases in mucosal perfusion may be a causative factor for postoperative mortality or complications such as necrotizing enterocolitis. Mesenteric perfusion is challenged preoperatively due to an imbalance between the systemic and pulmonary circulations and challenged intraoperatively due to hypothermic circulatory arrest. We have investigated gut permeability in seven patients undergoing stage 1 of the No...

Identification of successful catheter ablation sites in patients with ventricular tachycardia based on electrogram characteristics during sinus rhythm.
Zeppenfeld K, Kiès P, Wijffels MC, Bootsma M, van Erven L, Schalij MJ
Background: Zones of slow conduction facilitate reentry, the major mechanism of ventricular tachycardia (VT) after myocardial infarction (MI). Identification of these zones during sinus rhythm (SR) is desirable for radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of VT. Local conduction velocity may correlate with electrogram duration. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to revise the definition of normal electrogram characteristics and to reevaluate the significance of low-amplitude, long-duration e...

Hemodynamic evaluation of saphenous vein coronary artery bypass grafts: relative merits of Doppler flow velocity and SPECT perfusion imaging.
Salm LP, Bax JJ, Jukema JW, Langerak SE, Vliegen HW, Steendijk P, Lamb HJ, de Roos A, van der Wall EE
Background: Coronary angiography is considered the gold standard in evaluating vein graft disease; however, angiography does not allow assessment of hemodynamic consequences of lesions. In this study hemodynamic consequences of significant stenoses in vein grafts were evaluated by Doppler velocity assessment, and results were compared with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) perfusion imaging. Methods and results: Angiography was performed in 58 patients after coronary artery bypa...
