Heart Failure Impacts Endothelial Cell Responses to Cardiac Surgery on Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
Papazisi O, Postma RJ, Dirven RJ, Beeres SLMA, Berendsen RR, Arbous SM, Klautz RJM, van Vessem ME, Bijkerk R, Lindeman JHN, Palmen M, van Zonneveld AJ
Patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are at an increased risk of developing postoperative hemodynamic instability and vasoplegia after surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Potentially pre-existing endothelial cell (EC) alterations due to chronic HF influence EC responses to cardiac surgery and might be responsible for the altered vascular responsiveness observed postoperatively. In this study, well-described EC activation markers were measured in blood samples...

The impact of chronic kidney disease on arteriovenous fistula remodeling: studies in a murine model of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
Laboyrie SL, Peters DJM, Bijkerk R, de Winter EP, Duijs JMGJ, de Klerk JA, de Vries MR, Rotmans JI
The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the gold standard for hemodialysis vascular access, although inadequate vascular remodeling and intimal hyperplasia pose a major limitation. It is essential to study this in a clinically relevant model. We used 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+/+ l...
