Aortic and Iliac Involvement in Brucellosis - A Rare but Life Threatening Manifestation: A Review of the Literature.
Willems SA, Brouwers JJWM, Eefting D
Objective: Brucellosis is the most common zoonosis worldwide. Although cardiovascular complications in human brucellosis comprise only 3% of morbidity, they are the principal cause of death. Endocarditis covers the majority of these cases. Infected aneurysms and ulcerative processes of the aorta are rare but can be life threatening as well. Currently, limited information is available about aortic and iliac involvement in brucellosis. Methods: A PubMed, Web of Science, and AccessMedicine search (...

Antegrade common femoral artery access site closure using the MANTA vascular closure device.
Stomp W, Eefting D, van Schaik J, Sudiono DR, van der Meer RW
In antegrade peripheral endovascular procedures, the use of covered stents may require a large sheath size, which precludes the use of regular closure devices. The MANTA vascular closure device is a collagen plug-based vascular closure device for large bore percutaneous arterial interventions, which is normally used to close retrograde vascular access sites. We describe successful antegrade common femoral access site closure with the MANTA vascular closure device in 2 patients, a 68-year-old mal...

Editor's Choice - A Systemic Evaluation of the Costs of Elective EVAR and Open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair Implies Cost Equivalence.
Bulder RMA, Eefting D, Vriens PWHE, van Tongeren RB, Matsumura JS, van den Hout WB, Hamming JF, Lindeman JHN
OBJECTIVE:The suggested high costs of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) hamper the choice of insurance companies and financial regulators for EVAR as the primary option for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. However, arguments used in this debate are impeded by time related aspects such as effect modification and the introduction of confounding by indication, and by asymmetric evaluation of outcomes. Therefore, a re-evaluation minimising the impact of these interferences was cons...

Supervised preoperative forearm exercise to increase blood vessel diameter in patients requiring an arteriovenous access for hemodialysis: rationale and design of the PINCH trial.
Wilschut ED, Rotmans JI, Bos EJ, van Zoest D, Eefting D, Hamming JF, van der Bogt KEA
Background: Failure of maturation occurs in 30%-60% of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation for hemodialysis, with highest rates in distal radiocephalic fistulas. This is partly due to initial small blood vessel size with limited blood flow capacity. Forearm exercise has shown potential as stimulus for increasing blood vessel size in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and may promote maturation of AVFs in the upper limb when applied postoperatively. However, it is unknown if forearm ex...

Aortic Aneurysm Rupture After Urokinase Treatment for Acute Limb Ischemia in Two Patients After EVAR.
Sudiono DR, Hoencamp R, Ottevanger J, Eefting D, van der Linden E
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is first-choice treatment for many patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. Complications unique to endovascular treatment include endoleak and endotension, which can eventually lead to rupture. We present two cases of late aortic rupture after EVAR, where both patients had recent preceding catheter-directed thrombolysis with urokinase for acute limb ischemia. These cases suggest a relation between thrombolytic therapy and aortic rupture after EVAR, and we sh...
