7-Year Analysis of Outcomes Following Invasive Cardiac Procedures – Improved Complication Rates Reflect a Reduction in Outliers

Reported outcomes following cardiac invasive procedures show high variability in between different operators. We analysed the GenesisCare Outcomes Registry (GCOR) from 2015 to 2021 looking at annual procedural and inter-operator across 32 cardiologists’ 11,017 (CIED 38%, PCI 62%). Procedural outliers were defined as having an complication rate exceeding 3%. The overall major rates reduced 2.04±2.63% (range 0–9.1%) 1.25±0.77% 0–2.1%) 2021.
