 CONGRATULATIONS to our CARE Registry® participants! (posted: 08/25/08)
The NCDR® CARE Registry has reached a milestone achievement of 5,000 CAS procedures. Thanks to the dedication of our CARE Registry participants, this success will not only help guide optimal CAS patient management in everyday practice but also provide a potent research tool. A large amount of clinical information on thousands of patients permits focused analysis of clinical treatment details and efficacy of devices – the kind of focused analysis that is not possible with clinical trials.

Important Announcement: (posted: 07/31/08)
As of midnight on Thursday, July 31, 2008, none of the patient records entered into the DCRI Registry System for Version 1.5 may be modified. Additional patients for Q2 may be entered into the V.2.0 data collection tool for inclusion in the annual aggregate calculation. NOTE: Be careful not to re-enter patient records that currently exist in v1.5 because doing so will result in duplicate entry.
Patient records from Q2 2008 that have been entered into the Registry System may still be reviewed, but are not subject to modification after midnight on Thursday, July 31, 2008.
Please contact the NCDR Service Center at (800) 257-4737 or email NCDR@acc.org
