Predicting Radiation-Induced Lung Injury in Patients With Lung Cancer: Challenges and Opportunities.
Kuipers ME, van Doorn-Wink KCJ, Hiemstra PS, Slats AM
Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is one of the main dose-limiting toxicities in radiation therapy (RT) for lung cancer. Approximately 10% to 20% of patients show signs of RILI of variable severity. The reason for the wide range of RILI severity and the mechanisms underlying its development are only partially understood. A number of clinical risk factors have been identified that can aid in clinical decision making. Technological advancements in RT and the use of strict organ-at-risk dose con...

van Ginkel DJ, Bor WL, Dubois CLF, Aarts HM, Rooijakkers MJP, van Bergeijk KH, Rosseel L, Veenstra L, De Backer O, Van Mieghem NM, van der Kley F, Wilgenhof A, Leonora R, Halim J, Schotborgh CE, Barbato E, Van Der Heyden JAS, Frambach P, Ferdinande B, Mylotte D, Fabris E, Rensing BJWM, Timmers L, Swaans MJ, Brouwer J, Nijenhuis VJ, Peper J, Vriesendorp PA, de Laat B, Ninivaggi M, Stragier H, Voskuil M, IJsselmuiden AJJ, Hermanides RS, Agostoni P, van 't Hof AWJ, Wykrzykowska JJ, van Royen N, Delewi R, Ten Berg JM
About one-third of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) use oral anticoagulants (OAC), mainly due to atrial fibrillation. General guidelines advise interrupting OAC in patients with a high risk of bleeding undergoing interventions. However, preliminary observational data suggest that the continuation of OAC during TAVI is safe and may reduce the risk of periprocedural thromboembolic events. The Periprocedural Continuation Versus Interruption of Oral Anticoagulant Dr...

Diagnostic accuracy of the maximal systolic acceleration to detect peripheral arterial disease.
Willems SA, Dolfing SG, van Wissen RC, van der Vorst JR, van Schaik J, Schepers A, Hamming JF, Brouwers JJWM
Background: Diagnosing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can be challenging owing to medial arterial calcification (MAC) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Current bedside tests, such as the ankle-brachial index and toe-brachial index, are often insufficient. The maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) is a velocimetric Doppler-derived parameter and could be a new promising test in the diagnostic workup of these patients. The primary aim of this study was to...

Revaiah PC, Kageyama S, Masuda S, Ninomiya K, Kotoku N, Wang B, He X, Tsai TY, Garg S, Mushtaq S, Reiber JHC, Leaman DM, Bax JJ, Budoff MJ, Andreini D, Serruys PW, Onuma Y
To assess the reproducibility of CT-based Leaman score (CT-LeSc). CT-LeSc can non-invasively quantify total coronary atherosclerotic burden and is an independent long-term predictor of cardiac events. Its calculation however relies on the subjective assessment of lesions using coronary computed tomography angiography and therefore is subject to intra- and inter-observer variability. Inter-observer reproducibility was assessed by calculating the CT-LeSc in 50 patients randomly selected from the S...
