Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence on physical and psychological well-being of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) survivors is scarce. The aim of this study is to describe long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL), functional independence and psychological distress 3 and 12 months post-IHCA. METHODS A multicenter prospective cohort study in 25 hospitals between January 2017 - May 2018. Adult IHCA survivors were included. HRQoL (EQ-5D-5L, SF-12), psychological distress (HADS, CSI) and functional independence (mRS) were assessed at 3 and 12 months post-IHCA. RESULTS At 3-month follow-up 136 of 212 survivors responded to the questionnaire and at 12 months 110 of 198 responded. The median (IQR) EQ-utility Index score was 0.77 (0.65-0.87) at 3 months and 0.81 (0.70-0.91) at 12 months. At 3 months, patients reported a median SF-12 (IQR) physical component scale (PCS) of 38.9 (32.8-46.5) and mental component scale (MCS) of 43.5 (34.0-39.7) and at 12 months a PCS of 43.1 (34.6-52.3) and MCS 46.9 (38.5-54.5). DISCUSSION Using various tools most IHCA survivors report an acceptable HRQoL and a substantial part experiences lower HRQoL compared to population norms. Our data suggest that younger (male) patients and those with poor functional status prior to admission are at highest risk of impaired HRQoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the red cell distribution width (RDW) is a significant risk factor for hospital mortality in critically ill patients and to investigate whether RDW is a parameter indicating inflammation, or a risk factor independent of inflammation. METHODS We studied all patients admitted to a ten-bed mixed intensive care unit in the Netherlands between May 2005 and December 2011 for whom RDW was available, and who had not received a blood transfusion in the preceding three months. Inflammation was measured by C-reactive protein and leucocyte count. Analyses included correlation, logistic regression analysis, and receiveroperating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS We included 2915 patients, of whom 387 (13.3%) did not survive to hospital discharge. In univariate analysis higher RDW values were associated with increased hospital mortality. In multivariate analysis RDW remained an independent risk factor for mortality after correction for APACHE II score, age, admission type and mechanical ventilation (odds ratio 1.04, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.06, for each femtolitre of RDW). Adding RDW to APACHE II, however, increased the area under the ROC curve marginally (from 0.845 to 0.849, p<0.001). RDW was not correlated with C-reactive protein and leucocyte count, refuting the hypothesis that the association between RDW and outcome is mediated through inflammation. CONCLUSION In critically ill patients, the RDW on ICU admission was an independent predictor of mortality. Since RDW was not correlated with inflammation, the underlying mechanism of this association warrants further investigation.

Abstract
AIMS Intracoronary radiation is a promising therapy potentially reducing restenosis following catheter-based interventions. Currently, only limited data on this treatment are available. The feasibility and outcome in daily routine practice, however, is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS In 100 consecutive patients, intracoronary beta-radiation was performed with a (90)Strontium system (Novoste Beta-Cathtrade mark) following angioplasty. Predominantly complex (73% type B2 and C) and long lesions (length 24.3+/-15.3 mm) were included (37% de novo, 19% restenotic and 44% in-stent restenotic lesions). Radiation success was 100%. Mean prescribed dose was 19.8+/-2.5 Gy. A pullback procedure was performed in 19% lesions. Geographic miss occurred in 8% lesions. Periprocedural thrombus formation occurred in four lesions, dissection in nine lesions. During hospital stay, no death, acute myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization was observed. Major adverse cardiac events occurred predominantly between 6 and 12 months after the index procedure with major adverse cardiac event-free survival of 66% at 12 months (one death, 10 Q-wave myocardial infarctions, 23 target vessel revascularizations; ranked for worst event). CONCLUSION Routine catheter-based intracoronary beta-radiation therapy after angioplasty is safe and feasible with a high acute procedural success. The clinical 1-year follow-up showed delayed occurrence of major adverse cardiac events between 6 and 12 months after the index procedure.

Abstract
AIMS We sought to compare the effect of intracoronary beta-radiation on the vessel dimensions in de novo lesions using three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound quantification after balloon angioplasty and stenting. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty patients (44 vessels; 28 balloon angioplasty and 16 stenting) treated with catheter-based beta-radiation and 18 non-irradiated control patients (18 vessels; 10 balloon angioplasty and 8 stenting) were investigated by means of three-dimensional volumetric intravascular ultrasound analysis post-procedure and at 6-8 months follow-up. Total vessel (EEM) volume enlarged after both balloon angioplasty and stenting (+37 mm(3) vs +42 mm(3), P=ns), but vessel wall volume (plaque plus media) also increased similarly (+33 mm(3) vs +49 mm(3), P=ns) in the irradiated patients. Lumen volume remained unchanged in both groups (+3 mm(3) vs -7 mm(3), P=ns). In the stent-covered segments, neointima at follow-up was significantly smaller in the irradiated group than the control group (8 mm(3) vs 27 mm(3), P=0.001, respectively), but the total amount of tissue growth was similar in both groups (33 mm(3) vs 29 mm(3), P=ns). CONCLUSIONS Intracoronary beta-radiation induces vessel enlargement after balloon angioplasty and/or stenting, accommodating tissue growth. Additional stenting may not play an important role in the prevention of constrictive remodelling in the setting of catheter-based intracoronary beta-radiotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radioactive stents with an activity of 0.75 to 12 microCi have shown >40% edge restenosis due to neointimal hyperplasia and negative remodeling. This trial evaluated whether radioactive Cold Ends stents might resolve edge restenosis by preventing remodeling at the injured extremities. METHODS AND RESULTS The 25-mm long (15-mm radioactive center and 5-mm nonradioactive ends) Cold Ends stents had an activity of 3 to 12 microCi at implantation. Forty-three stents were implanted in 43 patients with de novo native coronary artery disease. Two procedural, 1 subacute, and 1 late stent thrombosis occurred. A restenosis rate of 22% was observed with a shift of the restenosis, usually occurring at the stent edges of radioactive stents, into the Cold Ends stents. The most severe restenosis occurred at the transition zone from radioactive to nonradioactive segments, a region located in dose fall-off. CONCLUSION Cold Ends stents did not resolve edge restenosis.
