Can transforming growth factor beta and downstream signalers distinguish bicuspid aortic valve patients susceptible for future aortic complications?
Grewal N, Klautz R, Poelmann RE
Patients with a bicuspid aortic valve have an extreme high risk to develop a thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD). TAADs form a leading cause of death worldwide, with the majority of deaths being preventable if individuals at risk are identified and properly managed. Risk stratification for TAADs in bicuspidy is so far solely based on the aortic diameter. Exclusive use of aortic wall dimension, as in the current guidelines, is however not sufficient in selecting patients vulnerable for...

Bail out lithotripsy to treat delayed valve-in-valve TAVR-related coronary obstruction.
Bingen BO, Al Amri I, Montero-Cabezas JM, van der Kley F
Coronary access difficulty and stent compression by the juxtaposed aortic valve leaflet hamper percutaneous management of delayed coronary artery obstruction (CAO) after valve-in-valve (Edwards Sapien 3 in St. Jude Trifecta) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Here, we present a case of delayed post-TAVR CAO treated with intravascular lithotripsy and multistenting to overcome stent compression by the adjacent calcified leaflet.

Case report: challenges in monitoring and treatment of anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity in young adults with osteosarcoma.
Heemelaar JC, Janson J, Braun J, Speetjens FM, van de Sande MAJ, Hugo JDV, Barge-Schaapveld DQCM, Beeres SLMA, Tops LF, Gelderblom H, Antoni ML
Neo(adjuvant) systemic treatment regimens containing anthracyclines such as doxorubicin cause a significant risk of heart failure. These regimens are one of the corner stones of osteosarcoma treatment, and therefore several guidelines are in place to steer cardiotoxicity monitoring through baseline risk stratification and cardiac surveillance during and after completion of cancer therapy.Importantly, baseline risk stratification modules are dependent on age, prior cardiovascular disease and card...

Introduction to hemodynamic forces by echocardiography.
Laenens D, van der Bijl P, Stassen J, Rossi AC, Pedrizzetti G, Reiber JHC, Marsan NA, Bax JJ
Hemodynamic force (HDF) analysis represents a novel approach to quantify intraventricular pressure gradients, responsible for blood flow. A new mathematical model allows the derivation of HDF parameters from routine transthoracic echocardiography, making this tool more accessible for clinical use. HDF analysis is considered the fluid dynamics correlate of deformation imaging and may be even more sensitive to detect mechanical abnormalities. This has the potential to add incremental clinical valu...

Glycemic control is independently associated with rapid progression of coronary atherosclerosis in the absence of a baseline coronary plaque burden: a retrospective case-control study from the PARADIGM registry.
Won KB, Lee BK, Lin FY, Hadamitzky M, Kim YJ, Sung JM, Conte E, Andreini D, Pontone G, Budoff MJ, Gottlieb I, Chun EJ, Cademartiri F, Maffei E, Marques H, de Araújo Gonçalves P, Leipsic JA, Lee SE, Shin S, Choi JH, Virmani R, Samady H, Chinnaiyan K, Berman DS, Narula J, Shaw LJ, Bax JJ, Min JK, Chang HJ
Background: The baseline coronary plaque burden is the most important factor for rapid plaque progression (RPP) in the coronary artery. However, data on the independent predictors of RPP in the absence of a baseline coronary plaque burden are limited. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the predictors for RPP in patients without coronary plaques on baseline coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images. Methods: A total of 402 patients (mean age: 57.6 ± 10.0 years, 49.3% men) without...

Efficacy of belimumab combined with rituximab in severe systemic lupus erythematosus: study protocol for the phase 3, multicenter, randomized, open-label Synbiose 2 trial.
van Schaik M, Arends EJ, Soonawala D, van Ommen E, de Leeuw K, Limper M, van Paassen P, Huizinga TWJ, Toes REM, van Kooten C, Rotmans JI, Rabelink TJ, Teng YKO
Background: Belimumab, an anti-B-cell activating factor antibody, is approved for the treatment of auto-antibody positive systemic lupus erythematosus with a high degree of disease activity. Anti-CD20 B cell depletion with rituximab is used in refractory SLE as well, although with variable responses. We hypothesized that incomplete B cell depletion, related to a surge in BAFF levels following rituximab treatment, can cause ongoing disease activity and flares. The Synbiose 1 study primarily focus...

Filamin A pre-mRNA editing modulates vascularization and tumor growth.
Jain M, Manjaly G, Maly K, de Vries MR, Janisiw M, König L, Nossent AY, Jantsch MF
Adenosine to inosine (A to I) editing is mediated by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR) enzymes. Inosines are interpreted as guanosines by the translational machinery. Consequently, A to I editing in mRNAs can lead to their recoding and the formation of proteins not encoded in the genome. Filamin A is an actin-crosslinking protein. A to I editing in the filamin pre-mRNA leads to the exchange of a glutamine to an arginine in a highly interactive domain of the protein. However, the conseque...

Phosphorylcholine Monoclonal Antibody Therapy Decreases Intraplaque Angiogenesis and Intraplaque Hemorrhage in Murine Vein Grafts.
Baganha F, Sluiter TJ, de Jong RCM, van Alst LA, Peters HAB, Jukema JW, Delibegovic M, Pettersson K, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Phosphorylcholine (PC) is one of the main oxLDL epitopes playing a central role in atherosclerosis, due to its atherogenic and proinflammatory effects. PC can be cleared by natural IgM antibodies and low levels of these antibodies have been associated with human vein graft (VG) failure. Although PC antibodies are recognized for their anti-inflammatory properties, their effect on intraplaque angiogenesis (IPA) and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH)-interdependent processes contributing to plaque ruptur...
