Scientific reports, Volume 10, Issue 1, 29 5 2020, Pages 15968 bFGF blockade reduces intraplaque angiogenesis and macrophage infiltration in atherosclerotic vein graft lesions in ApoE3*Leiden mice. Parma L, Peters HAB, Sluiter TJ, Simons KH, Lazzari P, de Vries MR, Quax PHA
Intraplaque angiogenesis increases the chance of unstable atherosclerotic plaque rupture and thrombus formation leading to myocardial infarction. Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) plays a key role in angiogenesis and inflammation and is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Therefore, we aim to test K5, a small molecule bFGF-inhibitor, on remodelling of accelerated atherosclerotic vein grafts lesions in ApoE3*Leiden mice. K5-mediated bFGF-signalling blockade strongly decreased int... Abstract

Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, Volume 6, Issue 4, 25 4 2020, Pages 633-636 Giant true hepatic aneurysm mimicking Mirizzi syndrome. Corion CLS, Vriens PWHE, Alwayn IPJ, Hamming JF, van Schaik J
Giant true aneurysms of the hepatic arteries are rare. Pseudoaneurysms of the hepatic arteries are more common and are mostly caused by intra-abdominal infection, iatrogenic injury, or trauma. Hepatic or cystic pseudoaneurysms are often successfully treated by embolization owing to their saccular nature as opposed to true aneurysms. We present a case of a patient with a giant true aneurysm of the proper hepatic artery, mimicking Mirizzi syndrome. Open reconstruction was successfully preformed, a... Abstract

Nature communications, Volume 11, Issue 1, 21 3 2020, Pages 4760 Straightforward preparation of supramolecular Janus nanorods by hydrogen bonding of end-functionalized polymers. Han S, Pensec S, Yilmaz D, Lorthioir C, Jestin J, Guigner JM, Niepceron F, Rieger J, Stoffelbach F, Nicol E, Colombani O, Bouteiller L
Janus cylinders are one-dimensional colloids that have two faces with different compositions and functionalities, and are useful as building blocks for advanced functional materials. Such anisotropic objects are difficult to prepare with nanometric dimensions. Here we describe a robust and versatile strategy to form micrometer long Janus nanorods with diameters in the 10-nanometer range, by self-assembly in water of end-functionalized polymers. The Janus topology is not a result of the phase seg... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 136, 15 3 2020, Pages 131-139 Prognostic Implications of Increased Right Ventricular Wall Tension in Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation. Fortuni F, Dietz MF, Butcher SC, Prihadi EA, van der Bijl P, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Secondary tricuspid regurgitation (TR) imposes a chronic volume overload on the right ventricle (RV) which can increase RV wall tension (RVWT). The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic implications of increased RVWT in patients with significant secondary TR. A total of 1,142 patients with moderate-to-severe secondary TR were included. Based on the simplified Laplace-Young's law, RVWT was defined as the product between pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and RV base-to-a... Abstract

In antegrade peripheral endovascular procedures, the use of covered stents may require a large sheath size, which precludes the use of regular closure devices. The MANTA vascular closure device is a collagen plug-based vascular closure device for large bore percutaneous arterial interventions, which is normally used to close retrograde vascular access sites. We describe successful antegrade common femoral access site closure with the MANTA vascular closure device in 2 patients, a 68-year-old mal... Abstract

Background: Bicuspid aortic stenosis accounts for almost 50% of patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement in the younger patients. Expanding the indication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) toward lower-risk and younger populations will lead to increased use of TAVR for patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis despite the exclusion of bicuspid anatomy in all pivotal clinical trials. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the association of BAV morphology a... Abstract
