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 .
Primary objective* To assess the long-term safety of alirocumab when added to currently available lipid-modifying drug therapy in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) who have completed one of the following studies:…
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 first objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of standard HD with different dialysate calcium concentrations as well as HD combined with citrate-acid dialysate on the clearance of CPPs and second the effect of these different solutions…
Primary Objective:- To assess lipid levels of STEMI patients over a long course. Secondary Objectives:- To assess the association between poorly controlled cholesterol and (apo) lipoprotein levels for the long term outcome in STEMI patients.- To…
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…
Pre-emptive, OCT guided angioplasty of vulnerable, intermediate coronary lesions: a randomized trial
To determine the effect of the stenting of intermediate, vulnerable coronary lesions on the prevention of future ACS, in patients with residual non-obstructive CAD after PCI for myocardial infarction.
The main objective is to show whether imaging characteristics assessed at baseline can predict clinical events in patients with a 30-69 % symptomatic carotid stenosis.
Assess feasibility of development of skin colour independent assessment of skin AGE accumulation by measurement of skin autofluorescence in persons with dark skin
The aim of the present study is to identify the association of inflammation in PsA with measures of abdominal fat and cardiometabolic risk factors and evaluate the body composition changes in PsA patients receiving apremilast. Secondly, to assess…
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…
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…
* To determine the minimum effective dose of 5-aminolevulinic acid (Gliolan) for adequate MitoPO2 measurements during upper endoscopy.
to identify novel molecular pathways resulting in premature atherosclerosis (PAS) in families where the traditional risk factors are not present / near absent.
A study to explore three different diagnostic tools (predictors) (tcPO2 measurement, BOLD MRI and DCE MRI) quantifying the degree of tissue perfusion and oxygenation at the intended amputation level in patients with refractory critical limb ischemia…
In the current study, we want to determine and correlate the results of both perfusion capacity (with MR imaging) and sublingual glycocalyx dimensions in a) patients with proven obstructive coronary artery disease and b) patients with angina but…
