Meta-analysis of long-term survival after elective endovascular or open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Bulder RMA, Bastiaannet E, Hamming JF, Lindeman JHN
Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred strategy for elective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) for many patients. However, the superiority of the endovascular procedure has recently been challenged by reports of impaired long-term survival in patients who underwent EVAR. A systematic review of long-term survival following AAA repair was therefore undertaken. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Articles reporting sho...

Prophylactic Use of Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators in the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death in Dialysis Patients.
Jukema JW, Timal RJ, Rotmans JI, Hensen LCR, Buiten MS, de Bie MK, Putter H, Zwinderman AH, van Erven L, Krol-van Straaten MJ, Hommes N, Gabreëls B, van Dorp W, van Dam B, Herzog CA, Schalij MJ, Rabelink TJ, ICD2 Trial Investigators
Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis are reported to be at high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), and to date, no therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing this risk. The feasibility and value of prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation to prevent SCD is uncertain. Methods: We conducted the ICD2 trial (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator in Dialysis Patients), a prospective, randomized, controlled study investig...

Changing surveillance objectives during the different phases of an emerging vector-borne disease outbreak: The Schmallenberg virus example.
Veldhuis A, Mars J, Stegeman A, van Schaik G
In the late summer of 2011, a sudden rise in incidence of fever, drop in milk production and diarrhoea was observed in dairy cows in the eastern region of the Netherlands and in north-western Germany. In the autumn of 2011, a novel orthobunyavirus was identified by metagenomic analyses in samples from acutely diseased cows on a farm near the German city of Schmallenberg, and was thereafter named Schmallenberg virus (SBV). Due to the novelty of the virus, there was an immediate need for knowledge...

Echocardiography in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
Vollema EM, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a safe and efficient alternative for surgical valve aortic replacement in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who are inoperable or have a high risk for surgery. Randomised clinical trials have shown that TAVR is not inferior to surgical aortic valve replacement in intermediate-risk patients and ongoing trials will demonstrate the effects of TAVR in asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis patients and in patients with heart failure and mo...

The Medical Profession, Industry, and Continuing Medical Education: Finding the Balance That's Right for Patients.
Kearney P, Simoons M, Ryden L, Kirchhof P, Pries A, O'Morain C, Bax JJ
Provision and participation in formal external continuing medical education (CME) is costly. Employer or state support of CME is the exception rather than the rule. The medical industry has supported both providers and consumers of educational activities, leading to concerns of commercial bias. Recent medical industry initiatives in Europe to improve the transparency of the relationship between industry and the profession, including the field of medical education, have had the paradoxical effect...

Morphologic Types of Tricuspid Regurgitation: Characteristics and Prognostic Implications.
Prihadi EA, Delgado V, Leon MB, Enriquez-Sarano M, Topilsky Y, Bax JJ
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is classified according to different morphologic types based on the underlying mechanisms: primary, secondary, and isolated TR. Primary TR is caused by an anatomical abnormality of the tricuspid valve apparatus. Secondary TR is caused by dilation of the tricuspid valve annulus, related to right ventricular (RV), or right atrial remodeling and increased RV pressures (often secondary to left-sided heart disease). Isolated TR can exist in patients without increased RV p...

Informing the uninformed: a multitier approach to uncover students' misconceptions on cardiovascular physiology.
Versteeg M, Wijnen-Meijer M, Steendijk P
Misconceptions about physiology are a major threat to accurate scientific and clinical reasoning in medical education. Awareness is often mentioned as a prerequisite to achieve conceptual understanding; however, students are frequently unaware of their incorrect understanding. We explored the multitier approach as a tool to obtain insight into students' awareness and misconceptions regarding cardiovascular physiology. Biomedical sciences students ( N = 81) participated in a diagnostic multi...

Multimodality imaging in ischaemic heart failure.
Bax JJ, Di Carli M, Narula J, Delgado V
In heart failure, extensive evaluation with modern non-invasive imaging modalities is needed to assess causes, pathophysiology, and haemodynamics, to determine prognosis and consider therapeutic options. This systematic evaluation includes a stepwise assessment of left ventricular size and function, the presence and severity of coronary artery disease, mitral regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular dilation and dysfunction, and tricuspid regurgitation. Based on this imaging-deri...

Frailty score for elderly patients is associated with short-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Hermans MPJ, Eindhoven DC, van Winden LAM, de Grooth GJ, Blauw GJ, Muller M, Schalij MJ
Objective: Consistent with the aging population in the Western world, there is a growing number of elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the recommended reperfusion strategy in elderly patients; risk models to determine which of these patients are prone to have poor clinical outcomes are, however, essential. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between frailty and short-term mortality and P...

Training in robotic thoracic surgery-the European way.
Shahin GMM, Brandon Bravo Bruinsma GJ, Stamenkovic S, Cuesta MA
The increasing demand for robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) in Europe requires a structured and standardized training module. Until now, Intuitive Surgical Inc. (Sunnyvale, CA, USA) has delivered the only available robotic surgery platform. Although the training program that is organized by Intuitive is divided in an initial and an advanced course, the success of the training depends on many external factors. Until now the training focused on experienced thoracic surgeons. The aim of this a...

Prognostic Implications of Right Ventricular Free Wall Longitudinal Strain in Patients With Significant Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Prihadi EA, van der Bijl P, Dietz M, Abou R, Vollema EM, Marsan NA, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Background In patients with significant functional tricuspid regurgitation, timely detection of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction with conventional 2-dimensional echocardiography is challenging, whereas speckle-tracking echocardiography RV free wall longitudinal strain has been proposed as better prognosticator. We evaluated the prevalence and prognostic value of impaired RV free wall longitudinal strain in patients with significant functional tricuspid regurgitation, in comparison with tricusp...
