Diagnostic Value of Maximal Systolic Acceleration Measurements in the Follow-up of Complex Endovascular Aortic Repair: Illustration of a Concept.
Willems SA, Brouwers JJWM, Hamming JF, Hinnen JW, van der Vorst JR, van Schaik J
Purpose: After complex endovascular aortic repair (cEVAR), long-term surveillance is advocated to monitor for potential (stent-related) complications. Although various imaging modalities are used, computed tomography angiography remains the standard in current clinical practice worldwide. However, radiopaque markers can cause metal artifacts and scattering, hampering assessment of patency of side branches. The maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) is a relatively new duplex ultrasound (DUS) par...

Preoperative methionine restriction induces perivascular adipose tissue browning and improves vein graft remodeling in male mice.
Kip P, Sluiter TJ, MacArthur MR, Tao M, Kruit N, Mitchell SJ, Jung J, Kooijman S, Gorham J, Seidman JG, Quax PHA, Decano JL, Aikawa M, Ozaki CK, Mitchell JR, de Vries MR
Short-term preoperative methionine restriction (MetR) is a promising translatable strategy to mitigate surgical injury response. However, its application to improve post-interventional vascular remodeling remains underexplored. Here we find that MetR protects from arterial intimal hyperplasia in a focal stenosis model and pathologic vascular remodeling following vein graft surgery in male mice. RNA sequencing reveals that MetR enhances browning in arterial (thoracic aorta) perivascular adipose t...
