Background and Purpose —The anterior communicating artery (AcoA) posterior arteries (PcoA) of the circle Willis provide main route for collateral blood flow in cases carotid obstruction. Transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography (TCCD) allows real-time measurement function AcoA PcoA. The primary objective this study was to determine threshold diameters supplying flow. Methods —In 12 acute stroke patients with a median age 75 years (51 91 years), integrity as assessed by TCCD...
ObjectiveInternational guidelines recommend supervised exercise therapy (SET) as primary treatment for all patients with intermittent claudication (IC), yet endovascular revascularisation (ER) might be more effective in iliac artery obstruction.MethodsThis was a multicentre RCT including IC caused by stenosis or occlusion (NCT01385774). Patients were allocated randomly to SET ER stratified maximum walking distance (MWD) and concomitant SFA disease. Primary endpoints MWD on treadmill (3.2...
To report the results of Dutch randomized trial comparing standard catheter-directed and ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis (UST) for treatment arterial thromboembolic occlusions.The DUET study ( controlled-trials.com ; identifier ISRCTN72676102) was designed to assess whether UST can reduce therapy time significantly compared with (ST). Sixty patients (44 men; mean age 64 years) recently (7-49 days) thrombosed infrainguinal native arteries or bypass grafts causing acute limb ischemia...
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy, feasibility, and long-term outcomes of Zenith ZBIS iliac branch device (IBD) to preserve internal artery (IIA) perfusion in a large Dutch multicenter cohort. Methods: Between September 2004 August 2015, 140 patients (mean age 70.9±7.4 years; 130 men) with 162 IBD implantations were identified 7 vascular centers. The indication for implantation was an abdominal aortic aneurysm >55 mm concomitant common (CIA) >20 (n=40), CIA diameter >30 (n=89), or...
Transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography combined with common carotid artery (CCA) compression can be used to assess the collateral function of circle Willis. The aim this study was unknown fraction hemodynamic functional anterior and posterior communicating arteries (AcoA PcoA, respectively) in an atherosclerotic population no cerebrovascular symptoms.In 76 patients a mean age 61 (35 89) years, blood flow velocity changes precommunicating parts (A1 P1, cerebral were measured during...
Introduction: The aim of this study is to share preliminary experiences and outcomes with a novel custom-made fenestrated TREO ® Abdominal Stent-Graft System treat juxtarenal pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Methods: Juxtarenal AAA patients treated the were included from 4 high-volume European academic medical centers June 2021 September 2023. Technical success 30-day/in-hospital mortality complications analyzed. was defined as successful endovascular implantation stent graft...
ObjectiveThe Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit (DSAA) initiative was established in 2013 to monitor and improve nationwide outcomes of aortic aneurysm surgery. The objective this study examine whether surgery for intact abdominal aneurysms (iAAA) have improved over time.MethodsPatients who underwent primary repair an iAAA by standard endovascular (EVAR) or open surgical (OSR) between 2014 2019 were selected from the DSAA inclusion. outcome peri-operative mortality trend per year, stratified OSR...
Clinically important atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease is mainly found in patients aged >60 years. Transcranial color-coded duplex ultrasonography (TCCD) a relatively new technique for investigating the basal cerebral arteries; however, it often hampered by impenetrable ultrasound windows. The aim of this study was to ascertain as yet unknown success rate TCCD regarding visualization arteries years, provide reference data, and compare any possible male/female differences.In 112 white...
Abstract Background The use of thrombolytic therapy in the treatment thrombosed infrainguinal native arteries and bypass grafts has increased over years. Main limitation this modality, however, is occurrence bleeding complications. Low intensity ultrasound (US) been shown to accelerate enzymatic thrombolysis, thereby reducing time. So far, no randomized trials have investigated application US-accelerated thrombolysis infra-inguinal or grafts. DUET study (Dutch trial comparing standard...
The aim of this study was to develop a 48-h mortality risk score, which included morphology data, for patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm presenting an emergency department, and assess its predictive accuracy clinical effectiveness in triaging immediate repair, transfer or palliative care.Data from the IMPROVE (Immediate Management Patient With Ruptured Aneurysm: Open Versus Endovascular Repair) randomized trial were used score. Variables considered age, sex, haemodynamic...
Modern endovascular hybrid operating rooms generate large amounts of medical images during a procedure, which are currently mostly assessed by eye. In this paper, we present fully automatic segmentation the stent graft on completion digital subtraction angiography aneurysm repair, utilizing deep learning network.Completion angiographies (cDSAs) 47 patients treated for an infrarenal aortic using EVAR were collected retrospectively. A two-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) with...
