Risk assessment of plaque rupture and future cardiovascular events (CVENT) by multi-spectral photoacoustic imaging (CVENT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2019,
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), more specifically, vulnerable plaque rupture, remains the major cause of death for people at middle age. The CVENT consortium will revolutionize screening, diagnosis and monitoring of CVD by means of a compact photoacoustic imaging (PAI) system for vulnerable plaque imaging.In the carotid arteries feeding the brain, vulnerable plaque rupture initiates cerebrovascular ...

Patient specific image-based computational modelling for \nimprovement of short- and long-term outcome of vascular access \nin patient on hemodialysis therapy (ARCH)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
More than half a million people live in Europe on chronic renal replacement therapy by hemodialysis (HD). This number increases annually at a constant rate of 8%. The Achilles heel of HD is the vascular access (VA) used to connect patient circulation to the artificial kidney. The current recommendation for VA is the native arteriovenous fistula (AVF), surgically created in the forearm. VA dysfunct ...
