A junctional PACSIN2/EHD4/MICAL-L1 complex coordinates VE-cadherin trafficking for endothelial migration and angiogenesis.
Malinova TS, Angulo-Urarte A, Nüchel J, Tauber M, van der Stoel MM, Janssen V, de Haan A, Groenen AG, Tebbens M, Graupera M, Plomann M, Huveneers S
Angiogenic sprouting relies on collective migration and coordinated rearrangements of endothelial leader and follower cells. VE-cadherin-based adherens junctions have emerged as key cell-cell contacts that transmit forces between cells and trigger signals during collective cell migration in angiogenesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that govern these processes and their functional importance for vascular development still remain unknown. We previously showed that the F-BAR protei...

The precordial R' wave: A novel discriminator between cardiac sarcoidosis and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in patients presenting with ventricular tachycardia.
Hoogendoorn JC, Venlet J, Out YNJ, Man S, Kumar S, Sramko M, Dechering DG, Nakajima I, Siontis KC, Watanabe M, Nakamura Y, Tedrow UB, Bogun F, Eckardt L, Peichl P, Stevenson WG, Zeppenfeld K
Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) with right ventricular (RV) involvement can mimic arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Histopathological differences may result in disease-specific RV activation patterns detectable on the 12-lead electrocardiogram. Dominant subepicardial scar in ARVC leads to delayed activation of areas with reduced voltages, translating into terminal activation delay and occasionally (epsilon) waves with a small amplitude. Conversely, patchy transmural RV...

Predictors and prognosis of right ventricular function in pulmonary hypertension due to heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Schmeißer A, Rauwolf T, Groscheck T, Fischbach K, Kropf S, Luani B, Tanev I, Hansen M, Meißler S, Schäfer K, Steendijk P, Braun-Dullaeus RC
Aims: Failure of right ventricular (RV) function worsens outcome in pulmonary hypertension (PH). The adaptation of RV contractility to afterload, the RV-pulmonary artery (PA) coupling, is defined by the ratio of RV end-systolic to PA elastances (Ees/Ea). Using pressure-volume loop (PV-L) technique we aimed to identify an Ees/Ea cut-off predictive for overall survival and to assess hemodynamic and morphologic conditions for adapted RV function in secondary PH due to heart failure with reduced eje...

Multimodality imaging in valvular heart disease: how to use state-of-the-art technology in daily practice.
Reid A, Blanke P, Bax JJ, Leipsic J
Our understanding of the complexities of valvular heart disease (VHD) has evolved in recent years, primarily because of the increased use of multimodality imaging (MMI). Whilst echocardiography remains the primary imaging technique, the contemporary evaluation of patients with VHD requires comprehensive analysis of the mechanism of valvular dysfunction, accurate quantification of severity, and active exclusion extravalvular consequences. Furthermore, advances in surgical and percutaneous therapi...

Repair of traumatic avulsion of the right bronchus in children using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.
Ricciardi G, Putman LM, Hazekamp MG
Traumatic avulsion of the right main bronchus in children is usually caused by blunt trauma or traffic accidents. Primary repair by suturing is the preferred treatment. Lesions are life threatening and urgent or emergency surgical repair is indicated. We report our experience with 2 cases of traumatic avulsion of right bronchus in children successfully suture repaired with the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Izquierdo-Lara R, Elsinga G, Heijnen L, Munnink BBO, Schapendonk CME, Nieuwenhuijse D, Kon M, Lu L, Aarestrup FM, Lycett S, Medema G, Koopmans MPG, de Graaf M
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly become a major global health problem, and public health surveillance is crucial to monitor and prevent virus spread. Wastewater-based epidemiology has been proposed as an addition to disease-based surveillance because virus is shed in the feces of ≈40% of infected persons. We used next-generation sequencing of sewage samples to evaluate the diversity of SARS-CoV-2 at the community level in the Netherlands and Belgium. Phylo...

Effects of hospital preference for endovascular repair on postoperative mortality after elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: analysis of the Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit.
Lijftogt N, Vahl AC, Karthaus EG, van der Willik EM, Amodio S, van Zwet EW, Hamming JF, Dutch Society of Vascular Surgery, the Steering Committee of the Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit, and the Dutch Institute for Clinical Auditing
Background: Increased use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and reduced open surgical repair (OSR), has decreased postoperative mortality after elective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The choice between EVAR or OSR depends on aneurysm anatomy, and the experience and preference of the vascular surgeon, and therefore differs between hospitals. The aim of this study was to investigate the current mortality risk difference (RD) between EVAR and OSR, and the effect of hospital pref...
