Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Term Clinical Experience with a Dedicated Venous Nitinol Stent: Initial Results with the Sinus-Venous Stent.
M.A.F. de Wolf,R. de Graaf,Ralph L. M. Kurstjens,S. Penninx,Houman Jalaie,Cees H. A. Wittens,Cees H. A. Wittens +6 more
TL;DR: Short-term clinical results using the sinus Venous stent are excellent, with significant symptom reduction, low morbidity rates, and no mortality.

TL;DR: The aim was to confirm or dispel long-held hemodynamic principles and to provide a comprehensive review of venous hemodynamic concepts underlying the pathophysiology of lower limb venous disorders, their usefulness for investigating patients and the relevant hemodynamic changes associated with various forms of treatment.

Journal ArticleDOI
What predicts outcome after recanalization of chronic venous obstruction: hemodynamic factors, stent geometry, patient selection, anticoagulation or other factors?:
Houman Jalaie,Carsten W. K. P. Arnoldussen,Mohammad E. Barbati,Ralph L. M. Kurstjens,R. de Graaf,Jochen Grommes,Andreas Greiner,M.A.F. de Wolf,Cees H. A. Wittens,Cees H. A. Wittens +9 more
TL;DR: Impaired inflow or outflow, presence of a hypercoagulability, total number of treated segments and use of stents designed for implantation in arterial system are associated with decreased stent patency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intravenous pressure changes in patients with postthrombotic deep venous obstruction: results using a treadmill stress test
Ralph L. M. Kurstjens,Ralph L. M. Kurstjens,M.A.F. de Wolf,M.A.F. de Wolf,H.W. Konijn,Irwin M. Toonder,Patty J. Nelemans,R. de Graaf,Cees H. A. Wittens,Cees H. A. Wittens +9 more
TL;DR: Patients with unilateral postthrombotic obstruction with common femoral vein hypertension were investigated, finding that pressure changes significantly increased after walking, compared to control limbs.
