The aim of this project is to assess whether 4D-CTA can generate 3D cranial image data sets with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to enable its use as a diagnostic tool in cerebrovascular pathology and physiology such as arteriovenous…
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the effect of endovascular treatment on overall functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke of less than six hour duration, in patients with a symptomatic anterior circulation IAO. The secondary…
To evaluate the effects of intravenous iron suppletion in iron deficient PAH patients.Amendment: to compare exercise capacity and isolated muscle strength in IPAH patients and healthy controls
To determine the effect of botulinum toxin type A injections in stroke patients with stiff knee gait.
We will study the effects of the proteins of the contact activation system in thrombus formation, embolization and degradation in several coagulation assays.
Primary Objectives:To (1) Assess the feasibility and tolerability of performing US and/or contrast-enhanced MRI in children with central venous catheters (CVCs) or peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC lines); (2) assess the accuracy of US…
To assess the costs and effects of tailoring the duration of elastic compression stocking (ECS) therapy after deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to individual patients needs.
The aim of this proposal is to investigate the potential use and value of experienced utility, as measured by the ESM and the DRM, in the economic evaluation of health care.Research question:1. What are the differences between the utilities measured…
A practical demonstration project in 5 European countries to show that intensive smoking intervention during a preventive cardiovascular risk management programme for patients with cardiovascular (CVD) or other atherosclerotic disease, asymptomatic…
Primary research questions To investigate whether the outcome after the randomized implantation of the Resolute Integrity® versus Promus Element® drug-eluting stent are similar, as assessed in a non-inferiority setting by comparing target-vessel…
The possibility to identify the risk of rupture of a carotid plaque will have tremendous impact in clinical decision making. Selection of candidates from surgery is based mainly on duplex ultrasonography, where now only the size of the stenosis is…
Primary goal:To investigate whether specific plaque characteristics are associated with ischemic lesions, especially (clinically silent) cerebral micro-infarcts, we will perform preoperative high resolution 3 and 7 Tesla MR plaque imaging in…
The aim of the study is to investigate the changes in peritoneal endothelial glycocalyx in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with the duration of peritoneal dialysis, and relate these changes to alterations in peritoneal transport and morphology.…
Primary objective: to compare changes in endothelial function in patients with obesity related hypertension after 8 weeks of treatment with aliskiren, moxonidine and HCTZ.Secondary objectives: to compare changes in the following parameters in…
Does a deep vein thrombosis coincide with changes in HDL protein composition? What are the effects of anticoagulant therapy on HDL protein composition during therapy and after discontinuation of therapy?
The overall objective of this study is to assess to what extend different cognitive domains are affected by a recent TNA and which mechanism is responsible for this cognitive decline. We wanted to know whether the kind of TNA (focal, non-focal,…
Here we propose to perform a prospective, randomized, multicenter study that compares effectiveness of AVS with effectiveness of CT-scanning for the diagnosis of PA subtype. There is no criterion standard for accuracy of the diagnosis of PA-subtype…
Primary objective: To investigate whether urine prothrombin fragments are increased in individuals suffering from VTE (i.e. PE or DVT) or a myocardial infarction compared to healthy matched controls.Secondary objective: to investigate whether…
1. Do body fatness and/or body fat distribution show a linear association withmicrovascular function in normal as well as IGT subjects?2. Is the effect of body composition on the microvasculature mediated by alteredadipokine profile, low-grade…
Assessment of triglyceride clearance in a FH population with variations in heparan sulfate biosynthesis.
