International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, Volume 38, 13 2 2021, Pages 100926 Ascending aorta curvature and flow displacement are associated with accelerated aortic growth at long-term follow-up: A MRI study in Marfan and thoracic aortic aneurysm patients. van Hout MJP, Juffermans JF, Lamb HJ, Kröner ESJ, van den Boogaard PJ, Schalij MJ, Dekkers IA, Scholte AJ, Westenberg JJ
Background: Aortic aneurysm formation is associated with increased risk of aortic dissection. Current diagnostic strategies are focused on diameter growth, the predictive value of aortic morphology and function remains underinvestigated. We aimed to assess the long-term prognostic value of ascending aorta (AA) curvature radius, regional pulse wave velocity (PWV) and flow displacement (FD) on aortic dilatation/elongation and evaluated adverse outcomes (proximal aortic surgery, dissection/rupture,...

European journal of radiology, Volume 82, Issue 4, 14 2 2012, Pages 680-685 High field carotid vessel wall imaging: a study on reproducibility. Kröner ES, Westenberg JJ, van der Geest RJ, Brouwer NJ, Doornbos J, Kooi ME, van der Wall EE, Lamb HJ, Siebelink HJ
Purpose: Currently, a multi-contrast protocol, including a combination of five MR-sequences is used as reference standard for morphologic imaging and quantitative measurements of the carotid artery vessel wall. The purpose of this study is to investigate the scan-rescan reproducibility together with intra- and inter-observer reproducibility of each of the five MR-sequences. Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers (55% male, mean age=26 years) underwent repeated MR-examinations (3T-Philips-MRI) of the... Abstract

International journal of cardiology, Volume 167, Issue 6, 20 3 2012, Pages 2977-2982 MRI-assessed regional pulse wave velocity for predicting absence of regional aorta luminal growth in marfan syndrome. Kröner ES, Scholte AJ, de Koning PJ, van den Boogaard PJ, Kroft LJ, van der Geest RJ, Hilhorst-Hofstee Y, Lamb HJ, Siebelink HM, Mulder BJ, Groenink M, Radonic T, van der Wall EE, de Roos A, Reiber JH, Westenberg JJ
Background: In patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS), increased aortic wall stiffening may lead to progressive aortic dilatation. Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), a marker of wall stiffness can be assessed regionally, using in-plane multi-directional velocity-encoded MRI. This study examined the diagnostic accuracy of regional PWV for prediction of regional aortic luminal growth during 2-year follow-up in MFS patients. Methods: In twenty-one MFS patients (mean age 36 ± 15 years, 11 male) regional... Abstract

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, Volume 36, Issue 6, 22 4 2012, Pages 1470-1476 Evaluation of sampling density on the accuracy of aortic pulse wave velocity from velocity-encoded MRI in patients with Marfan syndrome. Kröner ES, van der Geest RJ, Scholte AJ, Kroft LJ, van den Boogaard PJ, Hendriksen D, Lamb HJ, Siebelink HM, Mulder BJ, Groenink M, Radonic T, Hilhorst-Hofstee Y, Bax JJ, van der Wall EE, de Roos A, Reiber JH, Westenberg JJ
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of spatial (ie, number of sampling locations along the aorta) and temporal sampling density on aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) assessment from velocity-encoded MRI in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS). Materials and methods: Twenty-three MFS patients (12 men, mean age 36 ± 14 years) were included. Three PWV-methods were evaluated: 1) reference PWV(i.p.) from in-plane velocity-encoded MRI with dense temporal and spatial sampling; 2) conventional PWV(t.p.) from t... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 107, Issue 12, 8 2 2011, Pages 1725-1729 Positive remodeling on coronary computed tomography as a marker for plaque vulnerability on virtual histology intravascular ultrasound. Kröner ES, van Velzen JE, Boogers MJ, Siebelink HM, Schalij MJ, Kroft LJ, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Jukema JW, Reiber JH, Schuijf JD, Bax JJ
Coronary computed tomographic angiography allows direct evaluation of the vessel wall and thus positive remodeling, which is a marker of vulnerability. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between positive remodeling on computed tomography angiogram (CTA) and vulnerable plaque characteristics on virtual histologic intravascular ultrasound (VH IVUS) images. Forty-five patients (78% men, 58 ± 11 years old) underwent computed tomographic angiography followed by VH IVUS. On CTA, t... Abstract
