Endocrine-related cancer, Volume 30, Issue 9, 3 1 2023, Pages e230047 A clinically applicable molecular classification of oncocytic cell thyroid nodules. de Koster EJ, Corver WE, de Geus-Oei LF, Oyen WJG, Ruano D, Schepers A, Snel M, van Wezel T, Vriens D, Morreau H
Whole chromosome instability with near-whole genome haploidization (GH) and subsequent endoreduplication is considered a main genomic driver in the tumorigenesis of oncocytic cell thyroid neoplasms (OCN). These copy number alterations (CNA) occur less frequently in oncocytic thyroid adenoma (OA) than in oncocytic carcinoma (OCA), suggesting a continuous process. The current study described the CNA patterns in a cohort of 30 benign and malignant OCN, observed using a next-generation sequencing (N... Abstract

Resting heart rate is associated with cardiovascular diseases and mortality in observational and Mendelian randomization studies. The aims of this study are to extend the number of resting heart rate associated genetic variants and to obtain further insights in resting heart rate biology and its clinical consequences. A genome-wide meta-analysis of 100 studies in up to 835,465 individuals reveals 493 independent genetic variants in 352 loci, including 68 genetic variants outside previously ident... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 204, 1 1 2023, Pages 14-21 Rationale and Design of the Multicenter Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia Before Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot Study. Moore JP, Aboulhosn JA, Zeppenfeld K, Waldmann V, Bessière F, Blom NA, Combes N, Fish FA, McLeod CJ, Kanter RJ, Tan W, Patel N, von Alvensleben JC, Kamp A, Lloyd MS, Anderson CC, Tan RB, Mariucci E, Levi DS, Salem M, Shivkumar K, Khairy P
Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot are at elevated risk for ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Over the past decade, the pathogenesis and natural history of ventricular tachycardia has become increasingly understood, and catheter ablation has emerged as an effective treatment modality. Concurrently, there has been great progress in the development of a versatile array of transcatheter valves that can be placed in the native right ventricular outflow tract for the treatment...

Polycythemia vera (PV) diagnosis remains a difficult task despite various updates in the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria compared to 2008 criteria. This study aimed to examine the biochemical and clinical features of patients diagnosed with PV using the WHO 2016 criteria but would have been missed by the WHO 2008 criteria, and to ascertain the impact of the lowered thresholds on PV diagnosis. A total of 229 patients with suspected myeloproliferative neoplasms were includ... Abstract

Cardiovascular Imaging, Volume 24, Issue 9, 1 1 2023, Pages e209-e268 Multimodality imaging for patient selection, procedural guidance, and follow-up of transcatheter interventions for structural heart disease: a consensus document of the EACVI Task Force on Interventional Cardiovascular Imaging: part 1: access routes, transcatheter aortic valve implantation, and transcatheter mitral valve interventions. Agricola E, Ancona F, Bartel T, Brochet E, Dweck M, Faletra F, Lancellotti P, Mahmoud-Elsayed H, Marsan NA, Maurovich-Hovart P, Monaghan M, Pontone G, Sade LE, Swaans M, Von Bardeleben RS, Wunderlich N, Zamorano JL, Popescu BA, Cosyns B, Donal E
Transcatheter therapies for the treatment of structural heart diseases (SHD) have expanded dramatically over the last years, thanks to the developments and improvements of devices and imaging techniques, along with the increasing expertise of operators. Imaging, in particular echocardiography, is pivotal during patient selection, procedural monitoring, and follow-up. The imaging assessment of patients undergoing transcatheter interventions places demands on imagers that differ from those of the... Abstract

Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, Volume 10, Issue 8, 31 5 2023, Pages 324 Plaque Rupture in a Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivor without Cardiovascular Risk Factors 20 Years after Thoracic Radiotherapy: A Case Report. Polomski EAS, de Graaf MA, Jukema JW, Antoni ML
Background: Major improvements in cancer therapies have significantly contributed to increased survival rates of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors, outweighing cardiovascular side effects and the risks of radiation-induced heart disease. Non-invasive screening for coronary artery disease (CAD) starting five years after irradiation is recommended, as plaque development and morphology may differ in this high-risk population. Due to rapid plaque progression and a possibly higher incidence of non-calc... Abstract

American heart journal, Volume 265, 28 4 2023, Pages 114-120 Less bleeding by omitting aspirin in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome patients: Rationale and design of the LEGACY study. van der Sangen NMR, Küçük IT, Sivanesan S, Appelman Y, Ten Berg JM, Verburg A, Azzahhafi J, Arkenbout EK, Kikkert WJ, Pisters R, Jukema JW, Arslan F, van 't Hof A, Ilhan M, Hoebers LP, van der Schaaf RJ, Damman P, Woudstra P, van de Hoef TP, Bax M, Anthonio RL, Polad J, Adriaenssens T, Dewilde W, Zivelonghi C, Laanmets P, Majas R, Dijkgraaf MGW, Claessen BEPM, Henriques JPS
Background: Early aspirin withdrawal, also known as P2Y12-inhibitor monotherapy, following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) can reduce bleeding without a trade-off in efficacy. Still the average daily bleeding risk is highest during the first months and it remains unclear if aspirin can be omitted immediately following PCI. Methods: The LEGACY study is an open-label, multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluating the saf... Abstract

Journal of clinical medicine, Volume 12, Issue 15, 26 4 2023, Pages 4921 Increased Aortic Exclusion in Endovascular Treatment of Complex Aortic Aneurysms. Verhagen M, Eefting D, van Rijswijk C, van der Meer R, Hamming J, van der Vorst J, van Schaik J
Purpose: Perioperative risk assessments for complex aneurysms are based on the anatomical extent of the aneurysm and do not take the length of the aortic exclusion into account, as it was developed for open repair. Nevertheless, in the endovascular repair (ER) of complex aortic aneurysms, additional segments of healthy aorta are excluded compared with open repair (OR). The aim of this study was to assess differences in aortic exclusion between the ER and OR of complex aortic aneurysms, to subseq... Abstract

Pediatric cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 8, 24 4 2023, Pages 1627-1635 Comparison of Four-Dimensional Flow MRI, Two-Dimensional Phase-Contrast MRI and Echocardiography in Transposition of the Great Arteries. Warmerdam EG, Westenberg JJM, Voskuil M, Rijnberg FM, Roest AAW, Lamb HJ, van Wijk B, Sieswerda GT, Doevendans PA, Ter Heide H, Krings GJ, Leiner T, Grotenhuis HB
Pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis is a common complication after the arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA). Four-dimensional flow (4D flow) CMR provides the ability to quantify flow within an entire volume instead of a single plane. The aim of this study was to compare PA maximum velocities and stroke volumes between 4D flow CMR, two-dimensional phase-contrast (2D PCMR) and echocardiography. A prospective study including TGA patients after ASO was performed b... Abstract

Virus research, Volume 334, 21 3 2023, Pages 199175 Establishing immunogenicity and safety of needle-free intradermal delivery by nanoporous ceramic skin patch of mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine as a revaccination strategy in healthy volunteers. Prins MLM, Prins C, de Vries JJC, Visser LG, Roukens AHE
Introduction: Nanoporous microneedle arrays (npMNA) are being developed as skin patches for vaccine delivery. As alternative for needle-based immunisation, they may potentially result in higher vaccine acceptance, which is important for future mass vaccination campaigns to control outbreaks, such as COVID-19, and for public vaccination in general. In this study we investigated the safety and immunogenicity of needle-free intradermal delivery of a fractional third or fourth dose of mRNA-1273 vacc... Abstract
