Filter by:In patients with Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS), significant external compression of the coeliac artery (CA) by the median arcuate ligament (MAL) increasing mucosal ischemia (1,2) is assumed to cause chronic disabling postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, and consequently lethargy and social deprivation (3,8). The majority of these patients have had a long medical journey before the diagnosis MALS is considered resulting in a substantial burden of disease and high healthcare and societal costs. Although a Systematic Review have shown a sustainable symptom relief of 68% and a significant and durable improvement of quality of life after surgical treatment for MALS (4), there is still no (inter)national consensus on the existence and treatment of MALS (1, 5, 6, 7). Two recent guidelines (3, 8) concluded that patients with MALS might be considered for surgical CA release (Recommendation 25 GRADE 2D; expert agreement 96%, Terlouw 2020). To end the ongoing debate and to enable the development of evidence-based guidelines for the management of MALS, both guideline committees recommend to perform a blinded, randomised controlled trial comparing a CA release with a sham operation. The proposed Coeliac Artery Release or Sham Operation study will either underline the usefulness of eCAR as a minimal invasive (cost)effective treatment for MALS or it will prohibit a meaningless intervention in patients with disabling abdominal symptoms. If the CARoSO study proves that the treatment of MALS by eCAR is effective, to 490 patients with chronic disabling abdominal symptoms per year can be treated in the Netherlands. Effective treatment of MALS is expected to result in mean health gain of 6.05 Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs)/patient and has the potency to reduce the substantial productivity loss and healthcare consumption caused by MALS, resulting in a saving up to M€4.3/year. The outcome of the CARoSO study will be translated into strong recommendations in the coming updates of the relevant (inter)national multidisciplinary guidelines and will be adapted in daily practice.
Our study aimed at assessing the changes of portal vein pressure, portal vein flow and hepatic arterial flow (HAF) in liver remnants ≤ 30% of the standard liver volume by reducing portal vein overflow via ligation of the splenic artery.
The aim of our study is to therapeutic effect and platelet activity after intravenous laser irradiation of blood for ischemic stroke patient
Single-institution, prospective nonrandomized pilot study of critical limb ischemia patients with planned lower extremity revascularization will undergo Flowmet-D measurements in a wound care center setting to determine threshold values associated with wound healing and amputation. A subset of patients will undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy and will have Flowmet-D measurements to determine those who respond best to therapy.
The study will examine the results of the use of biological materials (allogeneic arterial grafts, allogeneic venous graft, autologous vein, biological bovine decellularized graft) as a bypass grafts for reconstructive interventions in patients with critical lower limb ischemia due to atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease in the short-term and long-term postoperative periods. Histological analysis of allogeneic grafts will be carried out at various time points of graft preservation with a Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 cell medicum with 400mcg/ml gentamicin and 20mcg/ml fluconazole at a temperature of +4C. The physical properties of allogeneic grafts from postmortem donors (tensile and tear strength) will be evaluated at various conservation time periods (1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks). Markers of endothelial dysfunction (IL-6, endothelin-1, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alfa, eNOS) will be evaluated in patients with critical ischemia who undergo bypass procedures with arterial and venous allografts at various time points (before surgery, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year after).
The purpose of this study to determine the prognostic value of the Selvester QRS score for perioperative myocardial injury following elective non-cardiac surgery.
A study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Renexin CR in patients with Acute Non-cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the vasodilative effect of subcutaneous nitroglycerin to prevent radial arterial occlusion(RAO) after removal of the radial arterial catheter in pediatric patients. The hypothesis of this study is that subcutaneous nitroglycerin will decrease the incidence of radial arterial occlusion after radial arterial catheter removal in pediatric patients by increasing the radial artery size and improving the first-attempt success rate of radial artery cannulation. This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study comparing the effect of subcutaneous nitroglycerin and saline on radial artery cannulation and catheter removal in pediatric patients. Prior to the procedure, each patient will be randomized into either the control arm, saline, or the study arm, nitroglycerin.
This study is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, investigator-sponsored study that aims to investigate the efficacy of colchicine in preventing recurrent stroke in the patients with acute minor-to-moderate ischemic stroke or TIA and a hsCRP level of ≥2mg/L.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Penumbra System including Thunderbolt Aspiration Tubing (Thunderbolt) in a population presenting with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusion (LVO) who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy.
