Aortic wall lamellar structure in phylogeny and in humans: insights from bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valve morphology.
Bacour N, Zafar M, Kargin N, Zinganshin B, Poelmann R, Klautz RJM, Elefteriades J, Grewal N
Objective: Despite a voluminous literature on aortopathy, comparatively little attention has been paid to the lamellar architecture of the aortic wall, including the number and distribution of these layers. This study compares the lamellar organization of the developing aorta in individuals with a bicuspid (BAV) versus tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) and includes a literature review on aortic lamellae in mammals and adult humans. Methods: Non-dilated ascending aortic wall samples (n = 83) were anal...

Routine versus selective protamine administration to reduce bleeding after TAVI: Rationale and Design of the POPular ACE TAVI trial.
Overduin DC, van Ginkel DJ, Dubois C, Lesizza P, Broeze GM, Montero-Cabezas JM, Rosseel L, van der Kley F, van Nuland PJ, Smits TP, Hemelrijk KI, Aarts HM, Rensing BJWM, Timmers L, Swaans MJ, Sonker U, Veenstra L, van 't Hof AWJ, Peper J, Tijssen JGP, Delewi R, Vriesendorp PA, Ten Berg JM
Background: Unfractionated heparin is routinely used during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to reduce catheter thrombosis and thromboembolism. Protamine reverses the effect of heparin and may lower bleeding risk, but it can also trigger severe allergic reactions. Robust data on the safety and efficacy of routine protamine administration after TAVI is lacking. Methods: The 'Routine Versus Selective Protamine Administration to Reduce Bleeding Complications After Transcatheter A...

Safety trial assessing 1.77 cm<sup>2</sup> H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> producing electrochemical bandages on healthy human skin.
Kies PJ, Kim WJ, Fleming D, Bozyel I, Holtegaard S, Shrivastava S, Schwartz K, Schwieder S, Beyenal H, Patel R
Mammalian skin maintains complex repair mechanisms after barrier disruption. Chronic wounds develop when these events are not efficiently completed, increasing infection risk. With ~2% of the population afflicted yearly, chronic wound care needs new technologies. Here, a Phase 0/1 study of one such therapeutic intervention is presented- H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)-producing electrochemical bandages (e-bandages) controlled by wearable micropotentiostats. The e-bandages generate H2O2 in precise, micr...

RNA Therapeutics in Heart Failure.
Deiman FE, de Graaf MM, Sillje HHW, Grote Beverborg N, Bomer N, van der Meer P
RNA-based therapeutics, such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are promising therapeutics that offer new avenues for targeting molecular pathways underlying heart failure (HF) pathogenesis. This review provides an overview of RNA therapeutics, detailing their mechanisms and potential applications in the treatment of HF. Key pathological processes in HF, including dysregulated calcium handling, myocardial fibrosis, oxidative stress, i...

Background: Acute aortic syndromes in Marfan syndrome (MFS) often occur before reaching the surgical diameter threshold, highlighting the need for new imaging biomarkers. Objectives: Aim was to compare cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived aortic three-dimensional (3D) distensibility and displacement in MFS patients with or without a history of aortic root surgery (RR or native) and healthy volunteers. Methods: The participants underwent 3T CMR of the thoracic aorta using an accelerate...

Resurgent measles in Türkiye: predictors of severe disease in a nationwide paediatric cohort, 2023.
Bursal B, Çelik T, Bingöl İ, Tosun D, Tuncay SA, Dağtekin ZK, Kaçmaz BB, Somer A, Dinleyici EÇ, Tezer H, Kara A, Türkiye Measles Study Group
Measles remains among the most important global health threats worldwide. A global increase has been reported since 2022, peaking in 2024, which heightens the risk of imported infections, particularly from unvaccinated children and adults, and measles outbreaks persist where immunity gaps remain. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical severity, complications, and outcomes of measles in hospitalised children as well as the effect of vaccination status on measles in Türkiye in 2023. We p...

Background: Patients with severe mitral regurgitation are frequently not candidates for surgery or transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). We aimed to evaluate 1-year outcomes of a novel percutaneous transseptal transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) system in patients unsuitable for surgery or TEER. Methods: In this prospective, multicentre, single-arm, pivotal trial, adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with symptomatic moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation who were not suitabl...

Investigation of Serum Visfatin and Chemerin Levels in Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity Patients: Their Potential Role as Clinical and Biomarkers.
Yilmaz DT, Gul MA, Capraz M, Demir HD, Tekcan A
Background/Objectives: The global prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been steadily increasing, and these interrelated disorders share common pathophysiological mechanisms, including altered levels of adipokines secreted from adipose tissue. Among these, chemerin and visfatin have been suggested as potential biomarkers for obesity-related metabolic dysfunction. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum chemerin and visfatin levels and obesity in patien...

The designer cytokine IC7Fc attenuates atherosclerosis development by targeting hyperlipidemia in mice.
In Het Panhuis W, Thiemann E, van Dijk DMAH, Been B, Jarrett KE, Meurs A, Kooijman S, Hovingh MV, Modder M, van Os BW, Sluiter TJ, Blomberg N, Pronk ACM, Afkir S, Streefland TCM, Lalai RA, Taveras MO, Zhang S, Adams TE, Terry LV, Turpin-Nolan SM, de Vries MR, Giera M, Rose-John S, Zelcer N, de Boer JF, de Aguiar Vallim TQ, Febbraio MA, Rensen PCN, Schönke M
The chimeric cytokine IC7Fc conveys the metabolic signaling properties of the glycoprotein 130 receptor cytokines interleukin-6 and ciliary neurotrophic factor via membrane-bound signaling. IC7Fc was previously shown to slow the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and here, we demonstrate its effect on atherosclerotic development. In APOE*3-Leiden.CETP mice, an atherosclerosis-prone model with a humanized lipoprotein metabolism, IC7Fc markedly lowered plasma triglyceride and total cholester...

Drug-Coated Balloon After Intravascular Lithotripsy: Procedural and Clinical Outcome of the "Crack and Drug" Strategy.
Oliveri F, van Oort MJH, Phagu AAS, Al Amri I, Bingen BO, Paradies V, Mincione G, Claessen BEPM, Dimitriu-Leen AC, Kefer J, Girgis H, Vossenberg T, Mandurino-Mirizzi A, Van der Kley F, Jukema JW, Montero-Cabezas J
Background: Drug-eluting stents (DESs) after intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) have proven effective in calcified coronary lesions. However, evidence supporting drug-coated balloons (DCBs) after IVL remains limited. Objectives: We aimed to compare the technical success and 1-year clinical outcomes of IVL + DES vs IVL + DCB strategies for the treatment of balloon-crossable calcified coronary lesions. Methods: Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with IVL from the prospective BENEL...
