    WHAT'S NEW

    PFO Closure: The Future Is Now

    The recently published data of three randomized controlled trials in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that PFO closure plus medical therapy reduces the risk of recurrent stroke in cryptogenic patients versus medical therapy alone. In light of the new studies, this activity discusses how to create a PFO closure program and how to provide referring physicians with clarity on the procedure and clinical data.  WATCH

    CMS IPPS Proposed Rule Integrates Newer SHD Procedures, as Recommended by SCAI

    On June 16, SCAI submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the 2016 Inpatient Prospective Payment (IPPS) System proposed rule, which would create new diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) for intra-cardiac procedures, including several structural heart disease (SHD) procedures. The proposed rule reflects SCAI's earlier recommendations, which urged CMS to establish a new DRG for SHD procedures not captured by the 2015 Proposed Endovascular/Transcatheter Cardiac Valve DRG.
