متن کاملDevelopment of a multicenter interventional cardiology database: the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium (BMC2) experience.
The technical challenges in the development of a quality-controlled registry of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are currently unknown. This article describes the authors' experience in the development of a regional, quality-controlled PCI registry. In 1996, 16 centers in Michigan were invited to participate in a multicenter PCI registry. Nine centers agreed to a pilot data collection...
متن کاملOutcome of contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention in the elderly and the very elderly: insights from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium.
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data on the outcome of contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the elderly. Accordingly, we assessed the impact of age on outcome of a large cohort of patients undergoing PCI in a regional collaborative registry. HYPOTHESIS Increasing age is associated with a higher incidence of procedural-related complications. METHODS We evaluated the outc...
متن کاملThe Epidemiology and Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Before High‐Risk Noncardiac Surgery in Contemporary Practice: Insights From the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium (BMC2) Registry
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is sometimes performed with the intent to lower cardiovascular risk before high-risk noncardiac surgery (HRNCS). There are limited data on the frequency and outcome of PCIs performed in this setting. METHODS AND RESULTS We assessed the frequency, characteristics, and in-hospital outcomes of patients undergoing PCI as part of the preoperative...
