Left Atrial Structural and Functional Response in Kidney Transplant Recipients Treated With Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Therapy and Early Tacrolimus Withdrawal.
Meucci MC, Reinders MEJ, Groeneweg KE, Bezstarosti S, Marsan NA, Bax JJ, De Fijter JW, Delgado V
Background: Autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy and withdrawal of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) has been shown to improve systemic blood pressure control and left ventricular hypertrophy regression in kidney transplant recipients. In the current subanalysis, we aimed to evaluate the impact of this novel immunosuppressive regimen on the longitudinal changes of left atrial (LA) structure and function after kidney transplantation. Methods: Kidney transplant recipie...

Right Ventricular Reverse Remodeling After Tricuspid Valve Surgery for Significant Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Galloo X, Meucci MC, Stassen J, Dietz MF, Prihadi EA, van der Bijl P, Ajmone Marsan N, Braun J, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Background: Changes in right ventricular (RV) dimensions and function after tricuspid valve (TV) surgery and their association with long-term outcomes remain largely unexplored. The current study evaluated RV reverse remodeling, based on changes in RV dimensions and function, after TV surgery for significant (moderate or severe) tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and their association with outcome. Methods: A total of 121 patients (mean age 63 ± 12 years, 47% males) with significant TR treated with TV...

Delayed biventricular repair of interrupted aortic arch with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome: a case report.
Van den Eynde J, van der Palen RLF, Bökenkamp R, Hazekamp MG
In patients with critical left ventricular outflow tract obstruction but adequately sized ventricles, the treatment of choice is biventricular repair. Several options have been proposed, including neonatal Yasui or Ross-Konno operation. However, each of these procedures carries a high mortality risk, especially in syndromic neonates. Here, we report the case of a patient with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and a diagnosis of interrupted aortic arch type B2, ventricular septal defect and left ventricu...

Robotic Mitral Valve Surgery.
Palmen M, Tomšič A, Braun J, Oudeman MAP, Shahin GMM, Klautz RJM
Growing interest in minimalizing surgical trauma during heart procedures stimulated the development of robotic mitral valve surgery in the late 1990s. Initially, the new technology was slowly adopted in clinical practice. However, following encouraging results by teams that adopted robotic heart surgery early on, a growing interest in implementation of robotic mitral valve surgery has emerged. Of importance are the technical developments and possibilities that accompany robotic surgery. Robotic...

Butcher SC, Prevedello F, Fortuni F, Kong WKF, Singh GK, Ng ACT, Perry R, Poh KK, Almeida AG, González A, Shen M, Yeo TC, Shanks M, Popescu BA, Gay LG, Fijałkowski M, Liang M, Tay E, Ajmone Marsan N, Selvanayagam JB, Pinto F, Zamorano JL, Pibarot P, Evangelista A, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Background: Significant (moderate or greater) mitral regurgitation (MR) could augment the hemodynamic effects of aortic valvular disease in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), imposing a greater hemodynamic burden on the left ventricle and atrium, possibly culminating in a faster onset of left ventricular dilation and/or symptoms. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and prognostic implications of significant MR in patients with BAV. Methods: In this large, multicenter, i...

Aims: Evolving evidence suggests that endothelial wall shear stress (ESS) plays a crucial role in the rupture and progression of coronary plaques by triggering biological signalling pathways. We aimed to investigate the patterns of ESS across coronary lesions from non-invasive imaging with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), and to define plaque-associated ESS values in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and results: Symptomatic patients with CAD who underwent a cl...

Aims: Characterization of left ventricular (LV) geometric pattern and LV mass could provide an important insight into the pathophysiological adaptations of the LV to pressure and/or volume overload in patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and significant (≥moderate) aortic valve (AV) disease. This study aimed to characterize LV remodelling and its prognostic impact in patients with BAV according to the predominant type of valvular dysfunction.

van Kampen JJA, Dalm VASH, Fraaij PLA, Oude Munnink BB, Schapendonk CME, Izquierdo-Lara RW, Villabruna N, Ettayebi K, Estes MK, Koopmans MPG, de Graaf M
Background: Immunocompromised individuals can become chronically infected with norovirus, but effective antiviral therapies are not yet available. Methods: Treatments with nitazoxanide, ribavirin, interferon alpha-2a, and nasoduodenally administered immunoglobulins were evaluated sequentially in an immunocompromised patient chronically infected with norovirus. In support, these components were also applied to measure norovirus inhibition in intestinal enteroid cultures in vitro. Viral RNA levels...

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruption of regular healthcare leading to reduced hospital attendances, repurposing of surgical facilities, and cancellation of cancer screening programmes. This study aimed to determine the impact of COVID-19 on surgical care in the Netherlands. Methods: A nationwide study was conducted in collaboration with the Dutch Institute for Clinical Auditing. Eight surgical audits were expanded with items regarding alterations in scheduling and treatment plans....

Longitudinal Prediction of Ventricular Arrhythmic Risk in Patients With Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy.
Carrick RT, Te Riele ASJM, Gasperetti A, Bosman L, Muller SA, Pendleton C, Tichnell C, Murray B, Yap SC, van den Berg MP, Wilde A, Zeppenfeld K, Hays A, Zimmerman SL, Tandri H, Cadrin-Tourigny J, van Tintelen P, Calkins H, James CA, Wu KC
Background: The arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) risk calculator stratifies risk for incident sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VA) at the time of ARVC diagnosis. However, included risk factors change over time, and how well the ARVC risk calculator performs at follow-up is unknown. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients with definite ARVC and without prior sustained VA. Risk factors for VA including age, nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, premature vent...

Visualization of Murine Vascular Remodeling and Blood Flow Dynamics by Ultra-High-Frequency Ultrasound Imaging.
Sier VQ, de Jong A, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Vein grafts (VGs) are used to bypass atherosclerotic obstructions and arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) as vascular access for hemodialysis. Vascular remodeling governs post-interventional arterialization, but may also induce VG and AVF failure. Although the endpoint characteristics of vascular remodeling are known, the in vivo process and the role of blood flow dynamics has not been fully studied. Therefore, here we non-invasively quantify vascular remodeling and blood flow alterations over time in...
