Public reporting and case selection for percutaneous coronary interventions: an analysis from two large multicenter percutaneous coronary intervention databases.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to determine the potential effect of public reporting on case selection for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that public reporting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) mortality might result in case selection bias and in denial of care to or out migration of high-risk patients. The potent...
متن کاملImpact of public reporting and outlier status identification on percutaneous coronary intervention case selection in Massachusetts.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the impact of public reporting of hospitals as negative outliers on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) case-mix selection. BACKGROUND Public reporting of risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality after PCI is intended to improve outcomes. However, public labeling of negative outliers based on risk-adjusted mortality rates may detrimentally affect hospi...
متن کاملBioresorbable scaffolds for percutaneous coronary interventions
UNLABELLED Innovations in drug-eluting stents (DES) have substantially reduced rates of in-segment restenosis and early stent thrombosis, improving clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). However a fixed metallic implant in a vessel wall with restored patency and residual disease remains a precipitating factor for sustained local inflammation, in-stent neo-atheros...
متن کاملEnhancing Outcomes for Outpatient Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES A quality improvement project was conducted to create a sustainable continuum of care for increased volumes of outpatients receiving percutaneous coronary interventions. Dramatic growth exposed system vulnerabilities and left staff overwhelmed. Four postinterventional project objectives included reducing preprocedural preparation times, reducing bleeding complications, re...
متن کاملDrug-eluting balloons for percutaneous coronary interventions.
Thromb Haemost 2009; 101: 9–11 The simple and originally naïve idea of dilating a coronary stenosis to restore unobstructed coronary flow through percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) (1) has been a major advance in the treatment of acute coronary syndromes and is currently also commonly used in stable coronary artery disease (2). However, there is no such thing as a “free lunch...
