The impact of chronic kidney disease on arteriovenous fistula remodelling: studies in a murine model of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Laboyrie S, Peters DJM, Bijkerk R, de Winter EP, Duijs JM, de Klerk JA, de Vries MR, Rotmans JI
The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the gold standard for hemodialysis vascular access, although inadequate vascular remodelling and intimal hyperplasia pose a major limitation. It is essential to study this in a clinically relevant model. We utilised an autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) model, the most common hereditary cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD), to study the effect of CKD on AVFs. Jugular-carotid AVFs were created in adult B6OlaPkd1nl/nl (ADPKD) mice and B6OlaPkd1...

Diagnosing the silent: the molecular landscape of non-functional parathyroid carcinoma.
Jentus MM, Corver WE, Snel M, van Haalen FM, van Wezel T, Ruano D, Kapiteijn E, Crobach S, Appelman-Dijkstra NM, Schepers A, Morreau H
Non-functional parathyroid carcinoma (NFPC) is an exceptionally rare malignancy, with approximately 50 cases reported since the parathyroid glands were first described in the late nineteenth century. Unlike functional parathyroid carcinomas (PC), which typically present with severe hyperparathyroidism (HPT) and are monitored via serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, NFPC lacks biochemical markers and is monitored solely through imaging. In this study, we present two new cases of pr...

Kougioumtzoglou AM, Lam BCY, Bouma BJ, Groenink M, Scholte AJHA, Dolmaci OB, Corsmit OT, Pandey AK, de Blok ACJ, Noter SL, Austin C, Klautz RJM, Hazekamp MG, Koolbergen DR
Introduction: Patients with connective tissue disease and aortic root aneurysm are at risk of dissection and progression of the dilation. Standard treatment of aortic root aneurysm is either a total root replacement or valve-sparing root replacement. Both procedures have drawbacks such as the need for anticoagulation and long term exposure to the chance of reoperation or endocarditis. The ExoVasc® Personalized External Aortic Root Support (PEARS) is a perivascular stent, that has been introduced...
