Evaluating Procedural Performance: A Composite Outcome for Atrial Septal Defect and Patent Ductus Arteriosus Closures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Technical success (TS) and procedural safety (PS) have been reported individually for transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closures. A composite procedural performance (PP) metric as a patient-centered strategy has not been developed or studied.

Methods

A multicenter expert working group created PP metrics for ASD and PDA device closures as a composite of TS and PS. TS criteria were defined and categorized into 3 classes (optimal, satisfactory, and unsatisfactory). PS was defined using established adverse event (AE) definitions from the Congenital Cardiac Catheterization Project on Outcomes (C3PO) registry. PP was divided into 3 outcome classes (I to III). Retrospective C3PO data were collected for all cases of isolated ASD a
