Changes in Use of Postacute Care Associated With Accountable Care Organizations in Hip Fracture, Stroke, and Pneumonia Hospitalized Cohorts
Conclusions:
ACOs decreased spending on postacute care by decreasing use of discretionary services. ACO implementation was associated with reduced length of stay in skilled nursing facilities, while hip fracture patients used institutional postacute settings at higher rates. Among pneumonia patients, we observed decreases in spending, readmission days, and mortality associated with ACO implementation.

The current national criteria for carotid artery stenting overestimate its efficacy in patients who are symptomatic and at high risk
In this study, we stratified patients who underwent CAS or CEA by CMS high-risk criteria and symptom status and examined their 30-day outcomes.Methods: A nonrandomized, retrospective cohort study was performed by chart review of all patients undergoing CEA or CAS from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2010, at our institution. Demographic data and data pertaining to the presence or absence of high-risk factors were collected. Patients were stratified using symptom status and high-risk status as variables, and 30-day adverse events (stroke, death, myocardial infarction [MI]) were compared.Results: A total of 271 patients und...

Claret Medical touts Sentinel data in TAVR study
Claret Medical today released results from a study of its Sentinel cerebral protection system, touting reduced early occurrence of stroke associated with transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures and lowered mortality rates.
The study of the device was recently published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions, the Santa Rosa, Calif.-based company said.
The Sentinel embolic protection device is designed to trap blood clots and prevent stroke during heart valve replacement procedures, which Claret Medical touts as the 1st and only FDA-cleared device to do so.

MassDevice Q & A: Claret Medical ’ s Azin Parhizgar on trying to make TAVR safer
Cerebral protection developer Claret Medical recently won FDA de novo clearance for its Sentinel device designed to trap blood clots and prevent stroke during heart valve replacement procedures.
The Sentinel uses a pair of filters, 1 in the brachiocephalic artery another in the left common carotid artery, to trap debris released during transcatheter aortic valve replacement that could cause a cerebral embolism.
The device has seen a rough road to approval, however, after missing the primary efficacy endpoint in its pivotal trial. Despite that, the device saw nearly unanimous support from an FDA advisory panel and was c...
