Idebenone treatment in Friedreich's ataxia: neurological, cardiac, and biochemical monitoring (2003)
Di Salvo, G, Matthijs, I, Weidemann, F, Eyskens, B, ...
The authors report 1-year prospective data on eight patients with Friedreich ataxia. Idebenone did not halt the progression of ataxia. At the end of therapy, cardiac ultrasound demonstrated...
AIMS: This study compares the functional outcome and cardiorespiratory response to exercise, in patients who have undergone arterial switch for transposition of the great arteries, with normal...
Brown, S, Eyskens, B, Gewillig, M
BACKGROUND: At present, a considerable number of patients survive who underwent an atrial switch operation for correction of complete transposition. Our study aimed to assess their long-term exercise...

Aims This study compares the functional outcome and cardiorespiratory response to exercise, in patients who have undergone arterial switch for transposition of the great arteries, with normal...
BACKGROUND: The surgical approach of neonates with a functionally univentricular heart, transposition of the great arteries and excessive pulmonary bloodflow remains a challenge. Pulmonary artery...
Gewillig, M, Eyskens, B, Dumoulin, M
Classic Fontan procedures, such as atriopulmonary connection or atrioventricular connection, are associated with right atrial dilatation and several late complications. Seven patients with...
Jashari, R, Eyskens, B, Gewillig, M, Dumoulin, M
OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary regurgitation after valveless repair of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) results in progressive right ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction in an...
Schulze-Neick, I, Austenat, I, Eyskens, B, Dumoulin, M, ...
The purpose of this study was to analyse the ventilatory efficiency for carbon dioxide (CO2) in the assessment of exercise tolerance in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Two groups of patients...
Mid-term results of the Ross procedure (1998)
Jalali, H, Eyskens, B, Gewillig, M
METHODS: Fifty patients underwent a Ross operation between June 1991 and October 1996. Preoperative diagnosis was: congenital aortic valve disease (31 patients), complex left ventricular outflow...
Self expandable stents for relief of venous baffle obstruction after the Mustard operation (1998)
Eyskens, B, Stockx, L, Dumoulin, M, Gewillig, M
OBJECTIVE: Obstruction of the venous pathways after Mustard repair for transposition of the great arteries is associated with an increased risk of arrhythmia and sudden death. The purpose of this...
Eyskens, B, Dumoulin, M, Gewillig, M
BACKGROUND: The natural history of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) in patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) is frequently complicated by progressive...

Delineation of the critical deletion region for congenital heart defects, on chromosome 8p23.1.
Devriendt, K, Matthijs, G, Van Dael, R, Gewillig, M, Eyskens, B, Hjalgrim, H, ...
Deletions in the distal region of chromosome 8p (del8p) are associated with congenital heart malformations. Other major manifestations include microcephaly, intrauterine growth retardation, mental...
