Biomaterials, Volume 229, 29 5 2019, Pages 119577 A novel method for engineering autologous non-thrombogenic in situ tissue-engineered blood vessels for arteriovenous grafting. Geelhoed WJ, van der Bogt KEA, Rothuizen TC, Damanik FFR, Hamming JF, Mota CD, van Agen MS, de Boer HC, Restrepo MT, Hinz B, Kislaya A, Poelma C, van Zonneveld AJ, Rabelink TJ, Moroni L, Rotmans JI
The durability of prosthetic arteriovenous (AV) grafts for hemodialysis access is low, predominantly due to stenotic lesions in the venous outflow tract and infectious complications. Tissue engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) might offer a tailor-made autologous alternative for prosthetic grafts. We have designed a method in which TEBVs are grown in vivo, by utilizing the foreign body response to subcutaneously implanted polymeric rods in goats, resulting in the formation of an autologous fibrocell...

Clinical kidney journal, Volume 13, Issue 6, 23 4 2019, Pages 1077-1082 Mortality after amputation in dialysis patients is high but not modified by diabetes status. Schroijen MA, van Diepen M, Hamming JF, Dekker FW, Dekkers OM
Background: Survival among dialysis patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is inferior to survival of non-diabetic dialysis patients, probably due to the higher prevalence of diabetes-related comorbid conditions. One could hypothesize that these comorbid conditions also contribute to a decreased survival after amputation in diabetic patients compared with non-diabetic patients on dialysis. Methods: Data were collected from the Netherlands Cooperative Study on the Adequacy of Dialysis, a multicentr... Abstract
European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, Volume 58, Issue 4, 6 1 2019, Pages 495-501 Factors Associated with Hospital Dependent Delay to Carotid Endarterectomy in the Dutch Audit for Carotid Interventions. Kuhrij LS, Meershoek AJA, Karthaus EG, Vahl AC, Hamming JF, Nederkoorn PJ, de Borst GJ
Objectives: As the risk of a recurrent neurological event in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis requiring carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is highest in the early phase after the first neurological event, guidelines recommend operating on these patients as soon as possible or at least within 14 days of their initial event. However, in real world practice this is often not met. The aim of this study is to identify factors that cause hospital dependent delay to CEA. Methods: All consecutive pa... Abstract

Journal of vascular surgery, Volume 70, Issue 1, 1 1 2019, Pages 286-297.e1 A systematic review of the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging in patients with peripheral artery disease. van den Hoven P, Ooms S, van Manen L, van der Bogt KEA, van Schaik J, Hamming JF, Vahrmeijer AL, van der Vorst JR, Mieog JSD
Objective: In the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD), the ankle-brachial index plays an important role. However, results of the ankle-brachial index are unreliable in patients with severe media sclerosis. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) can provide information about tissue perfusion and has already been studied in oncologic, reconstructive, and cardiac surgery. For patients with PAD, this technique might give insight into skin perfusion and thereb... Abstract

Journal of vascular surgery, Volume 71, Issue 1, 27 4 2019, Pages 242-249 Using maximal systolic acceleration to diagnose and assess the severity of peripheral artery disease in a flow model study. Brouwers JJWM, van Doorn LP, van Wissen RC, Putter H, Hamming JF
Background: Because of the presence of medial calcific sclerosis, both ankle-branchial index and toe pressure measures can yield misleading results when attempting to diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD). A new ultrasound parameter, maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax), can be an accurate tool for diagnosing PAD, including in diabetic patients. However, it has not been evaluated thoroughly. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of using ACCmax to diagnose and assess the sever... Abstract

Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred strategy for elective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) for many patients. However, the superiority of the endovascular procedure has recently been challenged by reports of impaired long-term survival in patients who underwent EVAR. A systematic review of long-term survival following AAA repair was therefore undertaken. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Articles reporting sho... Abstract

PloS one, Volume 13, Issue 11, 27 4 2018, Pages e0207943 Qualitative evaluation of coronary atherosclerosis in a large cohort of young and middle-aged Dutch tissue donors implies that coronary thrombo-embolic manifestations are stochastic. Lindeman JH, Hulsbos L, van den Bogaerdt AJ, Geerts M, van Gool AJ, Hamming JF, van Dijk RA, Schaapherder AF
Background and aims: With the intention to gain support for the hypothesis that incident ischemic complications of atherosclerotic disease involve a stochastic aspect, we performed a histological, qualitative evaluation of the epidemiology of coronary atherosclerotic disease in a cohort of aortic valve donors. Patients and methods: Donors (n = 695, median age 54, range 11-65 years) were dichotomized into a non-cardiovascular (non-CVD) and a cardiovascular disease death (CVD) group. Consecutive 5...

Lindeman JHN, Zwaginga JJ, Kallenberg-Lantrua G, van Wissen RC, Schepers A, van Bockel HJ, Fibbe WE, Hamming JF
Background and aims: Prospects for no-option, end-stage peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients remain poor. Although results from open and semiblinded studies fuel hope for cell-based strategies in no-option patients, so far conclusions from the available placebo-controlled studies are not supportive. With the intention to end the remaining controversy with regard to cell therapy for PAD we conducted a confirmatory, double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 trial. Study design: This...

Journal of internal medicine, Volume 285, Issue 1, 7 1 2018, Pages 59-74 Blockade of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 inhibits intraplaque haemorrhage by normalization of plaque neovessels. de Vries MR, Parma L, Peters HAB, Schepers A, Hamming JF, Jukema JW, Goumans MJTH, Guo L, Finn AV, Virmani R, Ozaki CK, Quax PHA
Background: Plaque angiogenesis is associated with atherosclerotic lesion growth, plaque instability and negative clinical outcome. Plaque angiogenesis is a natural occurring process to fulfil the increasing demand of oxygen and nourishment of the vessel wall. However, inadequate formed, immature plaque neovessels are leaky and cause intraplaque haemorrhage. Objective: Blockade of VEGFR2 normalizes the unbridled process of plaque neovessel formation and induces maturation of nascent vessels resu... Abstract
