Safety of left atrial appendage amputation in cardiac surgery patients without atrial fibrillation Open
Concomitant LAAA was not associated with increased surgical complications, post-operative AF, or fluid overload in patients without a history of AF. These findings suggest LAAA may be a safe strategy for stroke prevention in patients under…

Distribution of fluids between body compartments following fluid therapy in cardiac surgery Open
Administering fluid during operation and intensive care stay significantly reduces ICW and causes microcirculatory disturbances in cardiac surgery patients. Long-term microcirculation disturbances correlate with ECW and TBW in these patien…

Obese patients exhibit a greater enhancement in mental health-related quality of life compared to non-obese patients following thoracoscopic ablation of atrial fibrillation Open
Background Obesity is an important risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) development and progression. Furthermore, obesity reduces health-related quality of life (HRQoL), an essential indicator for treatment efficacy of AF ablation. Nev…

Introducing a method to monitor the impact of introducing value-based payment models; using a Dutch pilot project for coronary artery disease as an example Open
Background: Worldwide, the usage of value-based payment (VBP) models is increasing. Empirical studies on the intended and unintended effects of the introduction of a VBP model are however scarce. In this study, we present an approach to mo…
