Procedural Volume and Outcomes in Lower-Extremity Peripheral Vascular Interventions: Insights From the NCDR Peripheral Vascular Intervention Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lower-extremity peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs) are increasingly used for treatment of peripheral artery disease. However, the relationship between hospital and operator PVI volume with in-hospital major adverse limb events (MALEs) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) is not well established.

Methods

We used the NCDR PVI (National Cardiovascular Data Registry) registry, including procedural data from April 1, 2014, to December 31, 2019, assessing in-hospital MALEs and MACEs during hospitalization for PVI. Annualized PVI volumes were categorized on the basis of operator or site volume. Generalized linear mixed models assessed volume-outcome relationships after adjustment of covariates.

Results

Between 2014 and 2019, 55 785 PVI procedures
