NCDR Research to Be Highlighted at ACC.12

Twenty-nine abstracts based on data from the ACC’s NCDR® will be presented during ACC.12 and ACC.i2 with TCT in Chicago, March 24-27. Research from six registries, including the NCDR’s practice-based registry, the PINNACLE Registry® will be featured. Eleven of those accepted are oral presentations, and 18 are scientific posters.

A Best Poster Award Candidate based on data from the CARE Registry®, "Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Outcomes Following Bivalirudin vs. Unfractionated Heparin during Carotid Artery Stenting: Analysis from the NCDR," will be presented during the poster session between 9:30 a.m. and noon on Saturday, March 24.

Research from the ASCERT Study, "Survival after PCI or CABG in Older Patients with Stable Multivessel Coronary Disease: Results from the ACCF-STS Database Collaboration on the Comparative Effectiveness of Revascularization Strategies," will be presented in an ACC Special Session scheduled for 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 27.
