Holzer, MD, Julie A. Vincent, MD and Emile A. Bacha, MD Message from the Directors Dear Colleague: Each year, pediatric cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists at the NewYork- Presbyterian Congenital Heart Center perform more than 750 pediatric and congenital heart defect operations, including some 25 heart transplants, 175 newborn heart repairs, 1,500 interventional and diagnostic transcatheter procedures, and 100 adult congenital heart repairs. We have been performing pediatric heart surgery at a high volume since the early 1970s, creating a culture of clinical excellence and demanding the best outcome for every patient. We are proud to point to the fact that for seventeen years in a row, we have achieved significantly better outcomes than our peers in New York State. We performed the first successful pediatric heart transplant in the United States in 1984. We use 3-D printed heart models as part of pre-op management, allowing careful study of complex congenital heart disease lesions prior to surgical or transcatheter interventions. Our interventional cardiologists perform highly complex cardiac catheterization procedures in state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization laboratories with excellent outcomes. < 2 > The seamless integration of our Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery Divisions begins prior to birth of the fetus, at the first consultation with a NewYork-Presbyterian surgeon or interventional cardiologist. Patients who require intervention receive continuity of care throughout their treatment and recovery. As a major national and international referral center for children and adults with congenital heart disease, NewYork-Presbyterian offers a physician access transfer program – 1-800-NYP-STAT – to coordinate patient transfers when tertiary and quaternary care are required. On behalf of NewYork-Presbyterian Congenital Heart Center, we are pleased to provide a summary of outcomes for some of our most often performed pediatric and adult cardiac congenital surgical and catheterization procedures for the years 2013-2016, the most recent period for which complete data are available. Data are presented in accordance with the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) congenital cardiac surgery database guidelines. We hope you will find the information in this brochure valuable as you make informed decisions as to where to refer your pediatric cardiac patients for surgery.

The hospital experience & expertise in ranks in the top ten in the nation in pediatric cardiology and heart surgery, according to pediatric cardiovascular the 2017-2018 U.S. News & World Report “Best Children’s Hospitals” rankings. We have the lowest mortality rate in New York State for pediatric heart surgery, and one of the lowest surgery is the quality of nationwide – even though our surgeons routinely treat some of the most complex cases, its outcomes many referred from other institutions Our integrated Congenital Heart Center is one of the largest and most preeminent pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery centers in the nation and one of the nation’s major pediatric transplant centers. We have a distinguished roster of highly-skilled and experienced cardiovascular surgeons, including four national leaders specializing in complex neonatal surgery, hybrid minimally invasive surgery and transplant/assist devices. A team of five highly skilled interventional cardiologists provide a full range of transcatheter interventions at both NewYork-Presbyterian locations — Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital and Komansky Children’s Hospital. We offer our young patients cardiovascular expertise together with all sub-specialties that may be needed when treating a complex heart problem — from fetal diagnosis and therapies to neonatal pediatric cardiac intensive care, minimally invasive electrophysiology studies, non-invasive imaging, and specialized pediatric cardiac anesthesia. Our patients come to us from across the country and around the world to seek the most advanced, safest, and proven treatments for congenital heart conditions and for the revision of previous surgery when that treatment fails. We provide both adult and pediatric patients with congenital heart defects treatment options never thought possible just a short time ago. < 4 > Center Overview 2013-2016 Our outcomes are 35% better than national benchmarks Our average hospital mortality for the most complex neonatal procedures was 11.9 % compared to 17.0 % globally While we treat some of the most complex cases, our outcomes are well above established national benchmarks. It has been demonstrated that improved clinical outcomes are closely linked to centers with high surgical volumes. As a center’s activity increases, cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, critical care specialists, nurses, perfusionists and other cardiac team members become more experienced caring for patients with congenital heart disease. < 5 > We Perform More Than 750 Pediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Surgeries NewYork-Presbyterian Pediatric & Adult Congenital Cardiac Surgeries 2013-2016 800 746 748 754 700 661 600 506 490 487 500 446 400 300 200 75 85 85 106 100 0 2013 2014 2015 2016 Total Open and Closed Congenital Heart Surgeries Pediatric Open Heart Surgeries Adult Congenital Cardiac Surgeries Neonatal Volume 2013-2016 2013 2014 2015 2016 Surgical Procedures (neonate <30 days) 103 146 127 153 < 6 > NewYork-Presbyterian Survival Statistics 2013-2016 Number of Cases I Survival Procedure 2013 2014 2015 2016 Aortic Valve/Ross 9 | 100% 12 | 100% 10 | 100% 12 | 100% Arterial Switch Operation (ASO) 13 | 100% 25 | 96% 17 | 100% 25 | 100% Atrial Septal Defect Repair (ASD) 62 | 100% 38 | 100% 41 | 100% 55 | 100% Atrioventricular Canal Defect (AV Canal) 29 | 97% 35 | 94% 16 | 100% 20 | 100% Fontan 21 | 91% 22 | 95% 25 | 100% 27 | 100% Glenn 16 | 100% 21 | 95% 26 | 96% 22 | 100% Norwood 16 | 82% 18 | 100% 14 | 86% 19 | 89% Tetralogy of Fallot Repair (TOF) 33 | 100% 50 | 100% 34 | 100% 35 | 97% Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return 4 | 100% 16 | 94% 9 | 100% 14 | 100% (TAPVR) Transplant 30 | 93% 22 | 100% 26 | 100% 22 | 95% Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) 37 | 100% 48 | 98% 50 | 100% 43 | 100% Overall Hospital Discharge Mortality Rate 2013-2016 NewYork-Presbyterian STS National Benchmark 2013 3.0% 3.2% 2014 2.5% 2.9% 2015 1.9% 3.1% 2016 2.8% 2.8% < 7 > We Perform More Than 1,300 Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization Procedures Annually NewYork-Presbyterian Pediatric & Adult Cardiac Catheterization Procedures 2013-2016 1,270 1,284 1,300 1,228 1,221 1,200 1,100 1,000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 225 194 200 188 100 169 15 16 21 26 0 2013 2014 2015 2016 Total Pediatric & Adult Catheterization Cases Pediatric Therapeutic Catheterization Interventions* Adult Therapeutic Catheterization Interventions* * Because biopsies are considered NON-INTERVENTIONAL, numbers for pediatric and adult interventions in the

  • Surgical Advances in Heart and Lung Transplantation
    Anesthesiology Clin N Am 22 (2004) 789–807 Surgical advances in heart and lung transplantation Eric E. Roselli, MD*, Nicholas G. Smedira, MD Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Desk F25, 9500 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44195, USA The first heart transplants were performed in dogs by Alexis Carrel and Charles Guthrie in 1905, but it was not until the 1950s that attempts at human orthotopic heart transplant were reported. Several obstacles, including a clear definition of brain death, adequate organ preservation, control of rejection, and an easily reproducible method of implantation, slowed progress. Eventually, the first successful human to human orthotopic heart transplant was performed by Christian Barnard in South Africa in 1967 [1]. Poor healing of bronchial anastomoses hindered early progress in lung transplantation, first reported in 1963 [2]. The first successful transplant of heart and both lungs was accomplished at Stanford University School of Medicine (Stanford, CA) in 1981 [3]. The introduction of cyclosporine to immunosuppres- sion protocols, with lower doses of steroids, led to the first successful isolated lung transplant, performed at Toronto General Hospital in 1983 [4]. Since these early successes at thoracic transplantation, great progress has been made in the care of patients with end-stage heart and lung disease. Although only minor changes have occurred in surgical technique for heart and lung transplantation, the greatest changes have been in liberalizing donor criteria to expand the donor pool. This article focuses on more recent surgical advances in donor selection and management, procurement and implantation, and the impact these advances have had on patient outcome.

  • Bundled PCI Services in a Non-Hospital Cath Lab: Environmental Scan/Annotated Bibliography
    Bundled PCI Services in a Non-Hospital Cath Lab: Environmental Scan/Annotated Bibliography The research questions guiding the environmental scan and the search strategy are described in detail in the attached appendix. The components of the annotated bibliography below (with links and citations to sources) are grouped into topic areas with main points relevant to the proposal review outlined below. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL The “Bundled PCI Services in a Non-Hospital Cath Lab” proposal aims to reduce costs of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCIs) by giving Medicare patients the option to have the procedure performed in a non-hospital outpatient cardiac catheterization (cath) lab. Clearwater Cardiovascular Consultants, the submitting organization, proposes Bundled PCI services to allow qualified non-hospital cath labs the ability to perform PCIs, beginning with CCC’s own established cath lab as a limited scale test case to develop appropriate criteria, with expansion to at least two additional cath labs in the next year. SUBMITTING ORGANIZATION Clearwater Cardiovascular Consultants Clearwater Cardiovascular Consultants (CCC) is a cardiovascular medicine group founded in 1975, located in Clearwater, Florida, and comprised of 20+ physicians. Prior to 2016, CCC physicians provided PCI services at a hospital outpatient cardiac cath lab owned by Morton Plant Hospital (MPH), located near the emergency room/hospital outpatient lab. On January 1, 2016, CCC acquired this cath lab from MPH, retaining the same staff. http://www.ccicheart.com/ https://baycare.org/mph Bundled PCI Services in a Non-Hospital Cath Lab, June 2018 1 CURRENT ISSUES AND CONCERNS WITH MEDICARE PAYMENT FOR PCI CCC proposes an approach that will reduce spending for Anchor PCI procedures by an estimated $1,285 for a single vessel PCI and $3,105 for a multi-vessel PCI by performing PCIs in more cost-effective facilities as appropriate.

To improve outcomes and survival during this time, referred to as the “interstage period”, multiple strategies have been successfully implemented resulting in improved interstage survival. A critical element of interstage care is family education and training. Variations in practice and interstage home surveillance do exist but general guidelines are described below.

  • Curriculum in Interventional Cardiology
    CURRICULUM IN INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY Educational Goals The educational goals of this program are to train fellows in a specialized cardiovascular disease area requiring technical, educational and research skills involved in interventional cardiology. The knowledge base for interventional cardiology has become increasingly well-defined as a result of unparalleled programs in basic and clinical research in atherosclerosis, coronary disease, cardiomyopathy and valvular heart disease. Our educational goals for training in interventional cardiology are aligned with and guided by the recommendations of the ACC/SCAI/ AHA task force on optimal adult interventional cardiology training programs as follows: • To understand the effectiveness and limitations of coronary interventional procedures in order to select patients and procedure types appropriately. • To achieve the appropriate cognitive knowledge and technical skills needed to perform interventional cardiac procedures at the level of quality attainable through the present state of the art. • To foster an attitude of life-long learning and critical thinking skills needed to gain from experience and incorporate new developments. • To understand and commit to quality assessment and improvement in procedure performance. All trainees must be skilled in obtaining a history and physical examination of the cardiovascular system, specifically as it relates to the performance of procedures, management of the patient during the procedure and also post-procedural follow-up. All trainees must be familiar with the role of aging and psychogenic factors in the production of symptoms, as well as emotional and physical response of the patient to cardiovascular disease. In addition, trainees must be familiar with specific pathophysiology as it relates to the development of cardiovascular disease particularly that of acute coronary syndromes and their management in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
