Two National Quality Initiatives Discharge Medications & EVAR Follow-up Additional Reporting from PSO Focus at Regional Meeting Education and Case Studies QI Initiatives undertaken DC Meds - Steady Improvement EVAR LTFU – Room for Improvement Added as measure to Participation Awards
LTFU Longitudinal Care - Improves Care Monitors outcomes – EVAR, graft patency Secondary prevention – Antiplatelets, statin, tobacco cessation Incidental findings – aneurysm, TIA, chest pain
Discharge Meds
LTFU
EVAR follow up
EVAR Imaging LTFU We used to exclude Lost to follow up; we include them now in the denominator
EVAR Imaging LTFU
EVAR LTFU LTFU imaging after EVAR is mandatory EVAR is a non-curative treatment of AAA Life-long risk of device related failure - endoleak in up to 20% of patients LTFU imaging after EVAR is mandatory Obligation of the operating surgeon to obtain life-long imaging follow up To ensure that patients achieve durable outcomes Salvatore Scali, MD Chair of the EVAR Registry Committee
