December 1, 2023 For the third consecutive year, the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at The Mount Sinai Hospital has received the highest three-star rating from theSociety of Thoracic Surgeons(STS)/American College of Cardiology(ACC) TVT Registry of Public Reporting. The rating system is one of the most rigorous and highly respected measures for evaluating the quality of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures performed by hospitals in the United States.
This recognition underscores the commitment of our team to continuous quality improvement and to providing safe, patient-centered, and evidence-based care to our patients, says Samin K. Sharma, MD, Director of the Mount Sinai Cardiovascular Clinical Institute and Senior Vice President of Operations and Quality for Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital. These ratings further emphasize the superb expertise of our TAVR operators and the structural heart team, and should reassure our patients that they will get the best possible care at Mount Sinai.
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure, an alternative to open heart surgery, to replace the aortic valve for patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. In the latest reporting, only 22 of 823 TAVR programs nationwide received a three-star rating from the TVT registry. The Mount Sinai Hospital recorded the second-highest TAVR procedure volume in New York State in 2022, with 513 TAVR procedures performed with excellent safety, according to the registry.
For patients and their families,STS/ACCratings provide meaningful information to compare quality among hospitals and to ultimately make informed decisions about TAVR, a procedure that offers hope to many experiencing aortic stenosis who cannot undergo open heart surgery due to frailty, old age, or associated medical conditions. The system also encourages hospitals to improve their quality of care and patient safety by offering them valuable feedback and benchmarking information. Aortic stenosis is one of the most common and serious valve disease problems where the opening of the aortic valve narrows and restricts blood flowing to main heart artery causing symptoms including chest pain, shortness of breath and a rapid heartbeat.
TheSTS/ACC TVT Registrymonitors patient safety and real-world outcomes related to transcatheter valve replacement and repair procedures, along with emerging treatments for valve disease patients. Participating hospitals publicly showcase their commitment to continuous quality improvement through voluntary participation in the STS/ACC TVT Registry Public Reporting Program.
The star rating system is based on data collected by the STS/ACC TVT registry, which tracks the outcomes and complications of TAVR procedures from member institutions. It assigns one to three stars based on a hospitals performance across a comprehensive set of quality measures, including the rates of mortality, stroke, bleeding, kidney injury, and valve leakage within 30 days of the procedure.
Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital ranks No. 1 in New York and No. 4 globally according toNewsweeksThe Worlds Best Specialized Hospitals. The Mount Sinai Hospital is also No. 1 in New York for cardiology, cardiac surgery, and vascular surgery, according toU.S. News & World Report.
