European radiology, Volume 15, Issue 4, 22 4 2005, Pages 702-707 Right ventricular function late after total repair of tetralogy of Fallot. van Straten A, Vliegen HW, Hazekamp MG, de Roos A
Over the past decades, life expectancy in patients with congenital heart disease has increased dramatically. However, serious complications may develop late after total repair in infancy. These complications are usually the result of longstanding pulmonary regurgitation, which leads to dilatation of the right ventricle and an increased risk for severe arrhythmias. Therefore lifelong follow-up in these patients is required. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is the current imaging tool of choice... Abstract

European heart journal, Volume 26, Issue 9, 16 3 2005, Pages 928-932 Reduction of QRS duration after pulmonary valve replacement in adult Fallot patients is related to reduction of right ventricular volume. van Huysduynen BH, van Straten A, Swenne CA, Maan AC, van Eck HJ, Schalij MJ, van der Wall EE, de Roos A, Hazekamp MG, Vliegen HW
Aims: Late after total correction, Fallot patients with a long QRS duration are prone to serious arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Pulmonary regurgitation is a common cause of right ventricular (RV) failure and QRS lengthening. We studied the effects of pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) on QRS duration and RV volume. Methods and results: Twenty-six consecutive Fallot patients were evaluated both pre-operatively and 6-12 months post-operatively by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). In this stu... Abstract

Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, Volume 7, Issue 2, 1 1 2005, Pages 383-389 Disparity between dobutamine stress and physical exercise magnetic resonance imaging in patients with an intra-atrial correction for transposition of the great arteries. Oosterhof T, Tulevski II, Roest AA, Steendijk P, Vliegen HW, van der Wall EE, de Roos A, Tijssen JG, Mulder BJ
Background: In patients with an intra-atrial correction for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) an abnormal response to stress testing is common. However, hemodynamic responses may vary substantially when different stress tests are used. We compared the hemodynamic response to dobutamine stress with the response to physical exercise in patients and controls. Methods: Thirty-nine patients and 25 age/sex-matched control subjects underwent either dobutamine stress (15 microg/kg/min) or submax... Abstract

The American journal of cardiology, Volume 94, Issue 4, 1 1 2004, Pages 427-430 Feasibility of assessment of coronary stent patency using 16-slice computed tomography. Schuijf JD, Bax JJ, Jukema JW, Lamb HJ, Warda HM, Vliegen HW, de Roos A, van der Wall EE
Intracoronary stent implantation is a frequently performed procedure in the treatment of stenoses in coronary arteries, but in-stent restenosis occurs in approximately 10% to 15% of patients. A noninvasive diagnostic procedure to evaluate in-stent restenosis would therefore be of great benefit. We investigated the feasibility of assessing stent patency with 16-slice computed tomography. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) was performed in 22 patients with previously implanted stents. For each... Abstract
