The data collected in Vascular Registry ensures eligibility for CAS reimbursement. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) require data collection on high-risk patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS) in order for a site to be reimbursed (see CMS Decision Memorandum).   

Vascular Registry offers confidential benchmarking reports, comparing site-specific CAS baseline risk factors and complication rates to other institutions performing the same procedure.

• Site-specific CEA vs. CAS comparing baseline risk factors and complication rates over time in your facility.
• Site-specific CAS results by individual provider. The site will determine access to provider level.
• "Real time" access to all your data, and the ability to download your own data for analysis.

Facility benefits

1. The registry is available now, and sites will be able to provide six-month interval data to CMS.
