The prevalence and incidence of systemic sclerosis (SSc) in Netherlands is unknown. same holds true for its leading causes death: pulmonary fibrosis arterial hypertension (PAH), which effective treatment options have recently become available.To establish the SSc complications.Detailed information on patients POEMAS registry, "Pulmonary Hypertension Screening, a Multidisciplinary Approach Scleroderma", consisting 819 patients, was combined with nationwide questionnaire.By combining two...
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) with atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) has been identified as a risk factor for cryptogenic stroke. Patients migraine aura (MA) appear to be at silent brain infarction, which might related the presence of PFO. However, association between MA and PFO ASA never reported. We examined this in large observational study.
This phase III study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of lenograstim as support for ACE (doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide) chemotherapy in previously untreated patients with small-cell lung cancer. Patients were randomized receive up six 3-week cycles either alone (n = 139) or (150 μg/m2/day subcutaneously, days 4–13, n 141). Compared chemotherapy-alone group, group more likely achieve neutrophil recovery (absolute count, ≥1.5 × 109 cells/l) by day 14 (95.8–100% vs....
AIM:To investigate long-term efficacy of two different devices more than five years after percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in adults. METHODS:All patients who underwent an ASD the St. Antonius Hospital, Nieuwegein, The Netherlands, between February 1998 and December 2006 were included.Percutaneous took place under general anaesthesia transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring.Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed 24 h post-procedure to visualize device position...
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Occlutech patent foramen ovale (PFO) device at long‐term follow‐up (FU). Background The has been proven safe effective six‐months after percutaneous PFO closure. We describe more than 1,300 patient‐years FU. Methods All consecutive patients who underwent closure between October 2008 December 2015 were included. complications registered. Residual right‐to‐left shunt (RLS) was diagnosed using contrast transthoracic echocardiography graded as...
The Occlutech Figulla occluder has been proven safe and effective at midterm follow-up after percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure. We describe the safety efficacy long-term in adults.All consecutive adult patients that underwent ASD closure between 2008 2015 were included. All complications registered. Residual left-to-right shunt (LRS) was diagnosed using color-Doppler transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Right-to-left shunting contrast TTE. Successful defined as no LRS...
Abstract Aims The optimal vascular access site for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) remains uncertain. While observational data favour transradial (TRA) due to lower complication rates and mortality, transfemoral (TFA) PCI offers advantages such as shorter procedure times, along quicker escalation mechanical circulatory support (MCS). In this study, we aimed investigate factors associated a...
To study the safety and efficacy of microtransesophageal echocardiography (micro-TEE) TEE during percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure.TEE has proven to be safe ASD PFO closure under general anaesthesia. Micro-TEE makes it possible perform these procedures local We are first describe micro-TEE for closure.All consecutive patients who underwent between 2013 2018 were included. The periprocedural complications registered. Residual shunts diagnosed using...
A 66-year-old male with a history of surgically closed secundum type atrial septal defect (ASD) during childhood and percutaneous coronary intervention complained recurrent stable angina. Clinical investigation 12-lead ECG were unremarkable. He was referred for hybrid myocardial perfusion SPECT (SPECT) 64-slice CT angiography (CCTA). showed normal the left ventricle (LV) an enlarged right (RV). Gated images decreased LV ejection fraction 50% due to wall motion abnormalities …
Background: Pulmonary right-to-left shunts are associated with severe neurological complications in patients hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Screening has long been performed the 100% oxygen method, but transthoracic contrast echocardiography (TTCE) is currently advised as first-line screenings technique. Purpose: The present study determined diagnostic accuracy of method detecting pulmonary shunts, using TTCE gold standard. Methods: We included 189 persons, referred for HHT...
