A comprehensive analysis of the intramural segment in interarterial anomalous coronary arteries using computed tomography angiography.
Koppel CJ, Verheijen DBH, Kiès P, Egorova AD, Lamb HJ, Voskuil M, Jukema JW, Koolbergen DR, Hazekamp MG, Schalij MJ, Jongbloed MRM, Vliegen HW
Aims: An anomalous coronary artery originating from the opposite sinus of Valsalva (ACAOS) with an interarterial course can be assessed using computed tomography angiography (CTA) for the presence of high-risk characteristics associated with sudden cardiac death. These features include a slit-like ostium, acute angle take-off, proximal luminal narrowing, and an intramural segment. To date, no robust CTA criteria exist to determine the presence of an intramural segment. We aimed to deduct new CTA...

Application of local gentamicin in the treatment of deep sternal wound infection: a randomized controlled trial.
Vos RJ, van Putte BP, de Mol BAJM, Hoogewerf M, Mandigers TJ, Kloppenburg GTL
Objectives: In patients with deep sternal wound infection (DSWI), primary closure of the sternal bone over high negative pressure Redon drains has shown to be a safe and feasible treatment method. Addition of local gentamicin could accelerate healing and improve clinical outcomes. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of local gentamicin in the treatment of DSWI. In the treatment group, collagenous carriers containing gentamicin were left between the s...

Interaction between sex and left ventricular reverse remodeling and its association with outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Kuneman JH, Butcher SC, Stassen J, Singh GK, Pio SM, van der Kley F, Ajmone Marsan N, Knuuti J, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Women with severe aortic stenosis (AS) have better long-term prognosis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) compared to men. Whether this is caused by sex-related differences in left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling after TAVI is unknown. Patients with severe AS who underwent transfemoral TAVI between 2007 and 2018 were selected. LV dimensions, volumes, and ejection fraction (LVEF) were assessed by transthoracic echocardiography before TAVI and at 6 and 12 months follow-up aft...

Aims: To quantify metabolic impairment via a one-factor approach with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) including MRI-derived visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues and to associate it with diastolic dysfunction. Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, 916 participants (53% female, mean age (SD): 56 (6)) underwent abdominal and cardiovascular MRI. With CFA a metabolic-load factor of metabolic-syndrome variables and visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues was constructed. A piecewise str...

FDG-PET/CT in indeterminate thyroid nodules: cost-utility analysis alongside a randomised controlled trial.
de Koster EJ, Vriens D, van Aken MO, Dijkhorst-Oei LT, Oyen WJG, Peeters RP, Schepers A, de Geus-Oei LF, van den Hout WB, EfFECTS trial study group
Purpose: To evaluate cost-effectiveness of an [18F]FDG-PET/CT-driven diagnostic workup as compared to diagnostic surgery, for thyroid nodules with Bethesda III/IV cytology. [18F]FDG-PET/CT avoids 40% of futile diagnostic surgeries for benign Bethesda III/IV nodules. Methods: Lifelong societal costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were assessed for 132 patients participating in a randomised controlled multicentre trial comparing [18F]FDG-PET/CT to diagnostic surgery.

Elffers TW, de Graaf MA, Regeer MV, Omara S, Schalij MJ, Groeneveld GH, Roukens AHE, Geelhoed JJM, Antoni ML
In hospitalized COVID-19 patients, myocardial injury and echocardiographic abnormalities have been described. The present study investigates cardiac function in COVID-19 patients 6 weeks post-discharge and evaluates its relation to New York Heart Association (NYHA) class. Furthermore cardiac function post-discharge between the first and second wave COVID-19 patients was compared. We evaluated 146 patients at the outpatient clinic of the Leiden University Medical Centre. NYHA class of II or highe...

Computed tomography follow-up after elective proximal aortic surgery: Less is more?
de Oliveira Marreiros DJ, Tomšič A, van Brakel TJ, Hamming JF, Scholte AJHA, Hjortnaes J, Klautz RJM
Study objective: The added value of computed tomography (CT) follow-up after elective proximal aortic surgery is unclear. We evaluated the benefit of CT follow-up by assessing the incidence of aorta-related complications and reinterventions detected during routine CT follow-up. Methods: Data on 314 patients undergoing first time elective proximal aortic surgery between 2000 and 2015 were collected. The primary study end points were aorta-related complications and reinterventions, detected during...

FK506-Binding Protein 11 Is a Novel Plasma Cell-Specific Antibody Folding Catalyst with Increased Expression in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Preisendörfer S, Ishikawa Y, Hennen E, Winklmeier S, Schupp JC, Knüppel L, Fernandez IE, Binzenhöfer L, Flatley A, Juan-Guardela BM, Ruppert C, Guenther A, Frankenberger M, Hatz RA, Kneidinger N, Behr J, Feederle R, Schepers A, Hilgendorff A, Kaminski N, Meinl E, Bächinger HP, Eickelberg O, Staab-Weijnitz CA
Antibodies are central effectors of the adaptive immune response, widespread used therapeutics, but also potentially disease-causing biomolecules. Antibody folding catalysts in the plasma cell are incompletely defined. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal chronic lung disease with increasingly recognized autoimmune features. We found elevated expression of FK506-binding protein 11 (FKBP11) in IPF lungs where FKBP11 specifically localized to antibody-producing plasma cells. Suggesting a...

Development of Central Venous Stenosis Upon ICD Implantation in Dialysis Patients: A Non-Negligible Issue.
Timal RJ, Karalis I, Cabezas JMM, Rotmans JI, Hensen LCR, Buiten MS, de Bie MK, van Erven L, Putter H, Schalij MJ, Rabelink TJ, Jukema JW
Background: In hemodialysis patients, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation may result in central venous stenosis (CVS) with associated symptoms, such as pain, edema of the ipsilateral arm, facial edema, and loss of dialysis access. However, literature concerning CVS in dialysis patients with a cardiac implantable electronic device is scarce. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study in which we investigated the incidence of CVS in end-stage renal disease patients on c...

Background: Among symptomatic patients, it remains unclear whether a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score alone is sufficient or misses a sizeable burden and progressive risk associated with obstructive and nonobstructive atherosclerotic plaque. Objectives: Among patients with low to high CAC scores, our aims were to quantify co-occurring obstructive and nonobstructive noncalcified plaque and serial progression of atherosclerotic plaque volume. Methods: A total of 698 symptomatic patients with su...

Yoon SH, Makar M, Kar S, Chakravarty T, Oakley L, Sekhon N, Koseki K, Enta Y, Nakamura M, Hamilton M, Patel JK, Singh S, Skaf S, Siegel RJ, Bax JJ, Makkar RR
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the prognostic value of an increased mean mitral valve pressure gradient (MVG) in patients with primary mitral regurgitation (MR) after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). Background: Conflicting data exist regarding impact of increased mean MVG on outcomes after TEER. Methods: This study included 419 patients with primary MR (mean age 80.6 ± 10.4 years; 40.6% female) who underwent TEER. Patients were divided into quartiles (Qs) based on discharge...
