Data Bank Reporting of PTCA

Beginning in 2007, Strong Memorial Hospital will report all percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) data to the American College of Cardiology - National Cardiovascular Data Registry Data Bank as requested by the Leapfrog Group.

The Leapfrog Group has requested that all hospitals that perform percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) join the American College of Cardiology - National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) Data Bank in order to report performance data (American Heart Journal, December 2003: 146(6); 932-934).
