Your Connection For Quality Outcomes
The CathPCI Registry® assesses the characteristics, treatments and outcomes of cardiac disease patients who receive diagnostic catheterization and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. This powerful tool, available for any facility that performs PCI, captures the data that measure adherence to ACC/AHA clinical practice guideline recommendations, procedure performance standards and appropriate use criteria (AUC) for coronary revascularization.

CathPCI Registry Welcomes Participation From Any Facility Performing PCI, Sept. 28, 2021
PCI performance in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) “is increasingly recognized as a potential novel means of threading the needle of quality, safety, affordability, convenience, and shared-decision making for select patients,” Kendrick A. Shunk, MD, PhD, FACC, chair of the CathPCI Registry Steering Committee, writes in a Sept. 16 letter to the editor in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions. Writing in response to a 2020 Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions position statement that “inadvertently” stated the CathPCI Registry does not accept data from ASCs, Shunk notes the CathPCI Registry accepts data from any facility that performs PCI. “NCDR fundamentally supports the approach of focusing on care provision, rather than site of service, in the belief that this will better serve the interests of patients and other stakeholders such as payers or regulators in ensuring consistent quality of care, wherever it occurs,” he says.
