Long-term tricuspid valve prosthesis-related complications in patients with congenital heart disease.
van Slooten YJ, Freling HG, van Melle JP, Mulder BJ, Jongbloed MR, Ebels T, Voors AA, Pieper PG
Objectives: In patients with acquired valvar disease, morbidity and mortality rates after tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) are high. However, in adult patients with congenital heart disease, though data concerning outcome after TVR are scarce, even poorer results are suggested in patients with Ebstein anomaly. To investigate the applicability of these results to a broader array of congenital heart disease patients, we report the long-term follow-up of prosthesis-related complications, including...

Ewe SH, Delgado V, van der Geest R, Westenberg JJ, Haeck ML, Witkowski TG, Auger D, Marsan NA, Holman ER, de Roos A, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, Sieders A, Siebelink HM
Quantitative assessment of aortic regurgitation (AR) remains challenging. The present study evaluated the accuracy of 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for AR quantification, using 3D 3-directional velocity-encoded magnetic resonance imaging (VE-MRI) as the reference method. Thirty-two AR patients were included. With color Doppler TTE, 2D effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) was calculated using the proximal isovelocity surface area method. From...

Vascular remodeling and intimal hyperplasia in a novel murine model of arteriovenous fistula failure.
Wong CY, de Vries MR, Wang Y, van der Vorst JR, Vahrmeijer AL, van Zonneveld AJ, Roy-Chaudhury P, Rabelink TJ, Quax PH, Rotmans JI
Objective: The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) still suffers from a high number of failures caused by insufficient outward remodeling and intimal hyperplasia (IH) formation from which the exact mechanism is largely unknown. A suitable animal model is of vital importance in the unraveling of the underlying pathophysiology. However, current murine models of AVF failure do not incorporate the surgical configuration that is commonly used in humans. Because the hemodynamic profile is one of the key deter...

Difference vectors to describe dynamics of the ST segment and the ventricular gradient in acute ischemia.
ter Haar CC, Maan AC, Warren SG, Ringborn M, Horáček BM, Schalij MJ, Swenne CA
Background: The ECG is important in the diagnosis and triage of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS), especially in the hyperacute phase, the "golden hours," during which myocardial salvage possibilities are largest. An important triaging decision to be taken is whether or not a patient requires primary PCI, for which, as mentioned in the guidelines, the presence of an ST elevation (STE) pattern in the ECG is a major criterion. However, preexisting non-zero ST amplitudes (diagnostic, but...

Impact of valvuloarterial impedance on 2-year outcome of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Katsanos S, Yiu KH, Clavel MA, Rodés-Cabau J, Leong D, van der Kley F, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Pibarot P, Delgado V
Background: Elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) often have increased calcification and fibrosis of the aorta. Indices that account for the severity of valvular obstruction and systemic vascular impedance may better assess total left ventricular afterload. The aims of the present study were to evaluate changes in valvuloarterial impedance (Zva), systemic arterial compliance, and systemic vascular resistance after TAVI and to inves...

Intracoronary infusion of allogeneic mesenchymal precursor cells directly after experimental acute myocardial infarction reduces infarct size, abrogates adverse remodeling, and improves cardiac function.
Houtgraaf JH, de Jong R, Kazemi K, de Groot D, van der Spoel TI, Arslan F, Hoefer I, Pasterkamp G, Itescu S, Zijlstra F, Geleijnse ML, Serruys PW, Duckers HJ
Rationale: Mesenchymal precursor cells (MPCs) are a specific Stro-3+ subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells isolated from bone marrow. MPCs exert extensive cardioprotective effects, and are considered to be immune privileged. Objective: This study assessed the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of intracoronary delivery of allogeneic MPCs directly after acute myocardial infarction in sheep. Methods and results: Initially, intracoronary delivery conditions were optimized in 20 sheep. These condit...

Exercise-resembling effects of periodic somatosensory stimulation in heart failure.
Gademan MG, van Exel HJ, van de Vooren H, Haest JC, van Pelt J, van der Laarse A, Cannegieter SC, Lucas CM, Somer S, Verwey HF, Schalij MJ, van der Wall EE, Swenne CA
Background: The mechanism of the beneficial effects of exercise training on autonomic derangement and neurohumoral activation in chronic heart failure (CHF) is largely unexplained. In our here-presented hypothesis-generating study we propose that part of these effects is mediated by the exercise-accompanying somatosensory nerve traffic. To demonstrate this, we compared the effects of periodic electrical somatosensory stimulation in patients with CHF with the effects of exercise training and with...

Risk factors for the displacement of fractures of both bones of the forearm in children.
Colaris JW, Allema JH, Reijman M, Biter LU, de Vries MR, van de Ven CP, Bloem RM, Verhaar JA
Forearm fractures in children have a tendency to displace in a cast leading to malunion with reduced functional and cosmetic results. In order to identify risk factors for displacement, a total of 247 conservatively treated fractures of the forearm in 246 children with a mean age of 7.3 years (sd 3.2; 0.9 to 14.9) were included in a prospective multicentre study. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess risk factors for displacement of reduced or non-reduced fractures i...

CD8(+) T cells characterize early smoking-related airway pathology in patients with asthma.
Ravensberg AJ, Slats AM, van Wetering S, Janssen K, van Wijngaarden S, de Jeu R, Rabe KF, Sterk PJ, Hiemstra PS
Background: Smoking in asthma occurs frequently and is associated with increased symptom severity, an impaired response to corticosteroids, and accelerated lung function decline. Airway pathology in smoking asthmatics is characterized by neutrophilia and epithelial changes such as goblet cell hyperplasia and increased proliferation. Bronchial CD8(+) T cells are implicated in lung function decline in asthma and COPD. We hypothesized that smoking modifies airway inflammation in asthma by increasin...

Effect of atrioventricular and ventriculoventricular delay optimization on clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of patients treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy: a meta-analysis.
Auger D, Hoke U, Bax JJ, Boersma E, Delgado V
Background: Optimization of atrioventricular (AV) and ventriculoventricular (VV) delays of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices maximizes left ventricular filling and stroke volume. However, the incremental value of these optimizations over empiric device programming remains unclear. The objective of this analysis was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of AV and VV delay optimization on clinical and echocardiographic end points of patients with heart failu...
