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…
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 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.
Primary Objectives:A. To assess the reproducibility and variability (interscan, intra- and interreader) of novel (DCE-)MRI techniques to measure vessel wall dimensions, wall shear stress and vessel wall permeability in healthy and cardiovascular…
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.
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.
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 .
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
