Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions et al - 2015
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, American Association for Thoracic Surgery, American College of Cardiology (ACC), and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (2015) published a consensus-based report on operator and institutional requirements for transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI). Recommendations to qualify for a TPVI program included 150 catheterizations per year, association with a surgical program, submission of all cases to a national registry, and, for individuals, 80 percent freedom from reintervention at one (1) year.
