Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, Volume 166, 20 3 2022, Pages D6989 [The role of clinical guidelines in daily practice]. Weller FS, van Bodegom-Vos L, Hamming JF
In a time of exponential growth of medical scientific knowledge medical specialists need all the help they can get in translating the vast amount of information to the best treatment for their patients. Evidence based guidelines in essence seem a useful tool in promoting this translation as they report an extensive evaluation of available evidence. In daily practice however, guidelines do not always find their way to the clinical encounter with patients. But how do the end users of clinical prac... Abstract

Vascular and endovascular surgery, Volume 56, Issue 5, 2 1 2022, Pages 472-479 Doppler Ultrasonography Derived Maximal Systolic Acceleration: Value Determination With Artificially Induced Stenosis. Brouwers JJWM, van Doorn LP, Pronk L, van Wissen RC, Putter H, Schepers A, Hamming JF
BackgroundIn diagnosing peripheral arterial disease (PAD), medial arterial calcification (MAC) hampers arterial compression and could lead to unreliable ankle brachial index (ABI), toe brachial index (TBI) and toe pressure (TP). Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) derived maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) might be more accurate to diagnose PAD. In an in vitro study, a strong correlation between ACCmax and the severity of stenotic disease was determined. The aim of this study was to investigate th... Abstract

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, Volume 165, 16 3 2021, Pages D6492 [Appreciative calamity investigation]. Hamming JF, den Dijker L, Steneker I
Calamity investigations often lead to recommendations that are difficult to implement and that are of little relevance, because the analysis is carried out according to a cause and effect system. The complexity of care provision requires a different method that respects the complexity of day-to-day care and is able to assess it correctly. Research according to the Safety-II philosophy clearly shows the variable interactions and dependencies present in daily work. These investigations require mor... Abstract

Annals of vascular surgery, Volume 81, 12 2 2021, Pages 202-210 A New Doppler-Derived Parameter to Quantify Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis: Maximal Systolic Acceleration. Brouwers JJWM, Jiang JFY, Feld RT, van Doorn LP, van Wissen RC, van Walderveen MAA, Hamming JF, Schepers A
Objective: Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) is used as initial measurement to diagnose and classify carotid artery stenosis. Local distorting factors such as vascular calcification can influence the ability to obtain DUS measurements. The DUS derived maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) provides a different way to determine the degree of stenosis. While conventional DUS parameters are measured at the stenosis itself, ACCmax is measured distal to the internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. The val... Abstract

Biomedicines, Volume 9, Issue 10, 9 2 2021, Pages 1417 Perfusion Patterns in Patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia versus Control Patients Using Near-Infrared Fluorescence Imaging with Indocyanine Green. Van Den Hoven P, Goncalves LN, Quax PHA, Van Rijswijk CSP, Van Schaik J, Schepers A, Vahrmeijer AL, Hamming JF, Van Der Vorst JR
In assessing the severity of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD), physicians rely on clinical judgements supported by conventional measurements of macrovascular blood flow. However, current diagnostic techniques provide no information about regional tissue perfusion and are of limited value in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) has been used extensively in perfusion studies and is a possible modality... Abstract

Objective: Two consensus histopathological classifications for thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and inflammatory aortic diseases have been issued to facilitate clinical decision-making and inter-study comparison. However, these consensus classifications do not specifically encompass abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Given its high prevalence and the existing profound pathophysiologic knowledge gaps, extension of the consensus classification scheme to AAAs would be highly instrumental. The aim o... Abstract
