- to evaluate (cost-) effectiveness of a personalized health intervention among workers of 40 years and older with high physical work demands to contribute to a reduction in CVD and sustainable employability.
To compare the confidence of the interventional radiologist in diagnosing and treating arterial stenoses and occlusions by digital subtraction angiography with contrast concentrations of 300, 240 and 140 mg iodine per ml. Also, we will compare the…
The main objectives of this study is to see if changes in the innate immune system can be found in diseases associated with increased risk for atherosclerosis
In the current study, we want to demonstrate Rienso uptake in the vessel wall in patients with cardiovascular disease and relate the uptake of Rienso to endothelial permeability.
This research will have as aim to look at progression or decrease of vascular calcification in dialysis population with use of different phosphate binders. There is a possibility that differect phosphate binders bind vitamin K in a different way in…
To assess the safety and efficacy of the Orsiro Sirolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in the treatment of subjects with up to three native de novo or restenotic (standard PTCA only) coronary artery lesions compared to the Xience coronary stent…
The aim of the study is to compare the outcome of two DES with biodegradable polymer coatings separately (Orsiro and Synergy) versus an established third-generation durable polymer DES with proven efficacy and safety (Resolute Integrity) in an all…
To characterize phenotypical parameters, cytokine production and epigenetic characteristics of monocytes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, stratified according to antidiabetic treatment regime. Ex vivo exploration of the conditions which…
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether a long lasting pro-inflammatory phenotype, the characteristic of trained immunity, is present in circulating monocytes of patients with severe periodontal disease and whether this correlates…
The main goal of this study is to assess the difference in local pulse wave velocity measured at three different points in the left and right carotid artery in healthy subjects and in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid plaques. As…
In this study we would like to investigate whether repetitive allogeneic (lean donor) fecal transplantations can reduce liversteatosis and if so which (small) intestinal bacteria cause this inflammation in the liver resulting in subsequent chronic…
The primary objective will be the prevalence of medial arterial calcification, defined as an ABI * 1.3 and a TBI > 0.7, among hemophiliacs compared with non- hemophiliacs matched by sex and age.
Based on the gaps in our knowledge (as stated above), we have formulated the following objectives:- To quantify the degree of hepatic fat accumulation and fibrosis in patients with HFI. - To gain more insight in the mechanism leading to NAFLD in…
To investigate whether long-term activation of the innate immune system, named *trained innate immunity*, occurs at the level of the bone marrow progenitor cells in patients with significant coronary artery disease and whether this correlates with…
The objective of the study can be defined into two goals1. Reduction of CIN using the Renalguard with furosemide forced diuresis in patients known with chronic kidney failure whom require an endovascular intervention of the lower limbs. 2. Early…
In this exploratory study we aim to explore the values of apolipoprotein B bound to erythrocytes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2, to evaluate the relationship with clinical and subclinical atherosclerosis and to compare these results…
1. To investigate a possible increase intimal-media thickness (IMT) is found of the iliacal artery in endofibrosis2. To investigate a possible altered distention is found of the iliacal artery in endofibrosis3. To compare IMT and distention…
The objective of this prospectieve comparing multicenter study is to analyze the possible benifits on iodinated contrast, fluoroscopy time and irradiation dose by using the 3D fusion roadmap in iliac endovascular interventions .
The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of an acute cardiovascular event on the local and the systemic inflammatory state in humans with AMI as well as the reversibility of these effects after 3 months.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Orsiro for the treatment of subjects with up to 2 de novo atherosclerotic coronary artery lesions.
