Congenital circumflex artery-coronary sinus fistula in an adult female associated with severe mitral regurgitation and myelodysplasy--case report and review of the literature.
Said SA, van der Sluis A, Koster K, Sie H, Shahin GM
Background: Coronary artery fistulas are uncommon anomalies. They occur in 0.1-0.2% of patients undergoing coronary arteriography. The origin of the fistulas is the right coronary artery followed by the left anterior descending and lastly by the circumflex artery (17%). Termination into the right heart side occurs in 90% of cases. Termination into the coronary sinus is rare in 3% of cases. Circumflex artery-coronary sinus fistulas are even rarer. Design: A single case report and literature revie...

More than 30 years' experience with surgical correction of atrioventricular septal defects.
Hoohenkerk GJ, Bruggemans EF, Rijlaarsdam M, Schoof PH, Koolbergen DR, Hazekamp MG
Background: Outcome of surgical correction of atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) still varies despite enhanced results. We reviewed our 30-year experience with AVSD repair and identified risk factors for mortality and reoperation. Methods: Between 1975 and 2006, 312 patients underwent surgery for complete AVSD (n = 209; 67.0%), partial AVSD (n = 76; 24.4%), or intermediate AVSD (n = 27; 8.6%). Mean age was 2.4 ± 3.9 years; 142 patients (45.5%) were younger than 6 months. Follow-up was 99.0%...

Ventricular response to stress predicts outcome in adult patients with a systemic right ventricle.
Winter MM, Scherptong RW, Kumar S, Bouma BJ, Tulevski II, Tops LF, Roest AA, Vliegen HW, de Roos A, Groenink M, Mulder BJ
Background: Previous studies demonstrated that ventricular response to stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is frequently abnormal in patients with a systemic right ventricle (RV). However, the clinical implications of these findings remained unknown. We sought to evaluate whether abnormal response to stress CMR predicts adverse outcome in patients with a systemic RV. Methods: Thirty-nine adult patients (54% male; mean age 26, range 18-65 years) with a systemic RV underwent stress CMR...

The 5352 A allele of the pro-inflammatory caspase-1 gene predicts late-acquired stent malapposition in STEMI patients treated with sirolimus stents.
Bergheanu SC, Pons D, van der Hoeven BL, Liem SS, Siegerink B, Schalij MJ, van der Bom JG, Jukema JW
Late-acquired stent malapposition (LASM) is a common finding after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation and may be the cause for late stent thrombosis. Inflammation may play a pivotal role in LASM just as it plays in stent restenosis. We have therefore investigated seven polymorphisms involved in inflammatory processes, related in previous reports to restenosis, on the risk of LASM in SES patients. Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction who underwent SES implantation and had intr...

Diagnostic performance of non-invasive multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography to detect coronary artery disease using different endpoints: detection of significant stenosis vs. detection of atherosclerosis.
van Velzen JE, Schuijf JD, de Graaf FR, Boersma E, Pundziute G, Spanó F, Boogers MJ, Schalij MJ, Kroft LJ, de Roos A, Jukema JW, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Aims: The positive predictive value of multidetector computed tomography angiography (CTA) for detecting significant stenosis remains limited. Possibly CTA may be more accurate in the evaluation of atherosclerosis rather than in the evaluation of stenosis severity. However, a comprehensive assessment of the diagnostic performance of CTA in comparison with both conventional coronary angiography (CCA) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is lacking. Therefore, the aim of the study was to systematic...

First-in-man implantation of a trans-catheter aortic valve in a mitral annuloplasty ring: novel treatment modality for failed mitral valve repair.
de Weger A, Ewe SH, Delgado V, Bax JJ
The trans-catheter valve-in-valve concept has become a feasible therapeutic option for patients with failing degenerated bioprosthesis, who are deemed inoperable. However, little is known about the feasibility of this technique in failed valve annuloplasty. We report the first-in-man implantation of a trans-catheter aortic valve within a mitral annuloplasty ring. Through a trans-apical trans-catheter approach, a 26-mm Sapien-Edwards valve was successfully implanted in a 72-year-old man with isch...

The influence of polyvascular disease on the obesity paradox in vascular surgery patients.
van Kuijk JP, Flu WJ, Galal W, Chonchol M, Goei D, Verhagen HJ, Bax JJ, Poldermans D
Background: Obesity is a risk factor for atherosclerosis, a polyvascular process associated with reduced survival. In nonvascular surgery populations, a paradox between body mass index (BMI) and survival is described. This paradox includes reduced survival in underweight patients, whereas overweight and obese patients have a survival benefit. No clear explanation for this paradox has been given. Therefore, we evaluated the presence of the obesity paradox in vascular surgery patients and the infl...

The population genetics of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from different patient populations exhibits high-level host specificity.
van Mansfeld R, Jongerden I, Bootsma M, Buiting A, Bonten M, Willems R
Objective: To determine whether highly prevalent P. aeruginosa sequence types (ST) in Dutch cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are specifically linked to CF patients we investigated the population structure of P. aeruginosa from different clinical backgrounds. We first selected the optimal genotyping method by comparing pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and multilocus variable number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA). Methods: Selected P. aeruginosa isolates (n =...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been linked to the presence of underlying coronary artery disease (CAD). However, whether the higher burden of CAD observed in AF patients translates into higher burden of myocardial ischemia is unknown. In 87 patients (71% male, mean age 61 ± 10 years) with paroxysmal or persistent AF and without history of CAD, MSCT coronary angiography and stress testing (exercise ECG test or myocardial perfusion imaging) were performed. CAD was classified as obstructive (≥50% lum...
