This month’s registry spotlight is on National Cardiovascular Data Registry – Peripheral Vascular Intervention (NCDR – PVI).
Registry Partners’ Cardiac Service Line assists facilities and institutions nationwide with their NCDR-PVI data collection efforts. We serve as a complete outsource solution or can augment the facility’s current data collection team to ensure high quality, timely, and accurate data collection and submission.

The NCDR-PVI Registry measures the prevalence, demographics, management, and outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous treatment for peripheral vascular disease as well as carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy. The registry allows for the most comprehensive data, the greatest control, and the ability to compare. It includes over 200 participating institutions.

- Use of the online data collection tool or third-party vendor software options
- The PVI User Dashboard which displays Institutional Outcomes Reports and Data Quality Reports on a customized webpage allowing the ability to highlight specific metrics
- Comparative data utilizing Quarterly benchmark reports for measure of your institution against the registry as a whole
