The purpose of this study is to demonstrate equivalency of the Cardica * C - Port Xa anastomosis compared to hand sutured anastomoses in patients undergoing CABG with respect to 12 months patency at distal anastomosis site.
To determine if dose-intensifying the adjuvant temozolomide component of the chemoradiation treatment enhances treatment efficacy as measured by overall survival.
Comparison of the VSC clip applier system versus the conventional methods to create an anastomosis or patch angioplasty at the level of the common femoral artery.
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of vernakalant injection over amiodarone injection in the conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) to sinus rhythm (SR) within 90 minutes of the start of drug administration. The…
To investigate whether local inflammation in the area of the stomach and gastroenteric anastomosis is a cause of primary DGE.
To investigate the postoperative pain, compliance, satisfaction in the three different groups of postoperative analgesia and a possible interaction.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of an exercise program of 8 weeks prior to kidneytransplantation. This study also researches the effect of the exercise program on postoperatieve recovery (hospital stay,…
To test the surgical feasibility of the less invasive percutaneous pedicle screw instrumentation system for the treatment of children with a so called "hypotonic" scoliosis. Additionally, postoperative pain reduction and a reduced hospital…
The aim was to compare the results of a Lichtenstein hernioplasty using a self grippng mesh with the classical Lichtenstein repair using a polypropylene sutured mesh in terms of post-operative and chronic inguinodynia (caused by nerve irritation,…
To study which technique is most effective to surgically correct a symptomatic cystocele.2. To compare morbidity and post-operative recovery of anterior colporraphy and PerigeeTM.3. To compare the need for repeated pelvic floor surgery following…
The objective of this study is to assess the difference in micromotion of the Stanmore hip prosthesis (form enclosed), using two different bone cements. We hypothesise that the newly marketed bone cement Refobacin- gentamycine has the same in vivo…
The primary objective is the assessment of the in vivo kinematic patterns of a mobile bearing knee prosthesis (ROCC, Biomet Europe BV, The Netherlands) over time by means of fluoroscopy and to evaluate if the polyethylene bearing is rotating.The…
1 Primary Objective To investigate the effects of 15* liver ischemia versus 30* liver ischemia on liver injury and liver function.To investigate the effect of liver manipulation during mobilisation for a right hemihepatectomy, that can be used as a…
First, to determine the extent to which oxidative stress and microcirculatory perfusion defects occur during clinical kidney transplantation. Second, to study the relationship between these events and kidney function, inflammation and renal cellular…
