Abstract 28: Readmissions after Carotid Artery Revascularization in the Medicare Population Session Title: Concurrent III Session A: Oral Abstracts on Outcomes Issues
Conclusions: Almost 10% of Medicare patients undergoing carotid revascularization were readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Compared with CEA, CAS was associated with higher 30-day readmission rates. However, hospitals’ RSRR did not differ by their proportional use of CAS volume. Efforts to identify readmission risk factors are needed to reduce rates of readmissions following carotid revascularization.
