Han S, Pensec S, Yilmaz D, Lorthioir C, Jestin J, Guigner JM, Niepceron F, Rieger J, Stoffelbach F, Nicol E, Colombani O, Bouteiller L
Janus cylinders are one-dimensional colloids that have two faces with different compositions and functionalities, and are useful as building blocks for advanced functional materials. Such anisotropic objects are difficult to prepare with nanometric dimensions. Here we describe a robust and versatile strategy to form micrometer long Janus nanorods with diameters in the 10-nanometer range, by self-assembly in water of end-functionalized polymers. The Janus topology is not a result of the phase seg...

Prognostic and Predictive Value of Tumor-Infiltrating Immune Cells in Urothelial Cancer of the Bladder.
van Wilpe S, Gerretsen ECF, van der Heijden AG, de Vries IJM, Gerritsen WR, Mehra N
The prognosis and responsiveness to chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors differs substantially among patients with bladder cancer (BC). There is an unmet need for biomarkers that can accurately predict prognosis and treatment outcome. Here, we describe the available literature on the prognostic and predictive value of tumor-infiltrating immune cells in BC. Current evidence indicates that a high density of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells is a favorable prognostic factor, whereas PD-L1 expressio...

Prognostic Implications of Increased Right Ventricular Wall Tension in Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Fortuni F, Dietz MF, Butcher SC, Prihadi EA, van der Bijl P, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Secondary tricuspid regurgitation (TR) imposes a chronic volume overload on the right ventricle (RV) which can increase RV wall tension (RVWT). The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic implications of increased RVWT in patients with significant secondary TR. A total of 1,142 patients with moderate-to-severe secondary TR were included. Based on the simplified Laplace-Young's law, RVWT was defined as the product between pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and RV base-to-a...

Antegrade common femoral artery access site closure using the MANTA vascular closure device.
Stomp W, Eefting D, van Schaik J, Sudiono DR, van der Meer RW
In antegrade peripheral endovascular procedures, the use of covered stents may require a large sheath size, which precludes the use of regular closure devices. The MANTA vascular closure device is a collagen plug-based vascular closure device for large bore percutaneous arterial interventions, which is normally used to close retrograde vascular access sites. We describe successful antegrade common femoral access site closure with the MANTA vascular closure device in 2 patients, a 68-year-old mal...

Leaflet immobility and thrombosis in transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Ng ACT, Holmes DR, Mack MJ, Delgado V, Makkar R, Blanke P, Leipsic JA, Leon MB, Bax JJ
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has grown exponentially worldwide in the last decade. Due to the higher bleeding risks associated with oral anticoagulation and in patients undergoing TAVR, antiplatelet therapy is currently considered first-line antithrombotic treatment after TAVR. Recent studies suggest that some patients can develop subclinical transcatheter heart valve (THV) thrombosis after the procedure, whereby thrombus forms on the leaflets that can be a precursor to leaflet...

Background: Bicuspid aortic stenosis accounts for almost 50% of patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement in the younger patients. Expanding the indication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) toward lower-risk and younger populations will lead to increased use of TAVR for patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis despite the exclusion of bicuspid anatomy in all pivotal clinical trials. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the association of BAV morphology a...
