Overview
To promote quality improvement, Cleveland Clinic has created a series of Outcomes books similar to this one for many of its institutes. Designed for a physician audience, the Outcomes books contain a summary of our surgical and medical trends and approaches, data on patient volumes and outcomes, and a review of new technologies and innovations.

Surgical Overview
The Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery and its affiliates perform a high volume and variety of procedures. In 2011, the department and its affiliates performed 12,169 cardiovascular and thoracic surgical procedures.
Download
Ischemic Heart Disease
Includes cardiac catheterization, interventional procedures, care after myocardial infarction (heart attack), and coronary artery bypass surgery.
Download
Cardiac Rhythm Disorders
Includes treatments for atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and device implants.
Download
Heart Valve Disease
Includes valve surgery options such as valve repair, valve replacement, minimally invasive valve treatments, robotically assisted valve surgery and percutaneous valve approaches.
Download
Aortic Disease
Includes diagnostic and surgical approaches to the entire aorta from the aortic arch to the descending and thoracoabdominal artery involving traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery and endovascular repair, as well as complex hybrid approaches.
Download
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
Includes septal myectomy, including those performed in conjunction with a valve procedure.
Download
Congenital Heart Disease
Includes interventional procedures, percutaneous closure procedures, and surgery.
Download
Pericardial Disease
Pericardial disease includes a group of conditions that affect the pericardium, the double layered sac that surrounds the heart.
Download
Heart Failure and Transplant
Includes survival, wait time, transplant rate among patients on the wait list, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices (including strategies, survival to transplant, and survival after MCS device implant), heart failure care performance and mortality.
Download
Lung and Heart - Lung Transplant
Lung and heart-lung transplant outcomes include data on the number of transplants, primary disease of transplant recipients, survival, wait time and wait list mortality.
Download
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Includes interventional and diagnostic procedures, lower extremity surgical volume, non-invasive vascular lab ultrasound study distribution and lower extremity wound clinic volume.
Download
Venous Disease
Venous Disease outcomes includes information about treatment and endovenous ablation patient volume.
Download
Cerebrovascular Disease
Cerebrovascular disease outcomes include patient volume and complications associated with carotid stenting, diagnostic angiograms and carotid endarterectomy.
Download
Thoracic Surgery
Includes surgery volume and mortality, distribution of surgeries, pulmonary resection mortality, distribution of pulmonary resections, pulmonary resection length of stay, esophageal surgery operative mortality, and distribution of esophageal surgeries by indication and esophageal length of stay.
Download
Preventive Cardiology
Preventive cardiology and rehabilitation tracks outcomes on numerous cardiovascular risk factors, including emerging nontraditional cardiac risk factors. The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program reports outcomes related to quality of life, functional capacity, blood pressure and compliance.
Download
Cardiothoracic Anesthesia
Cardiothoracic anesthesiology provides anesthesiology services for heart and vascular patients and is constantly evolving to parallel changes in cardiac surgery procedures, such as those for heart failure and complex valve procedures.
Download
Surgical Quality Improvement
Includes data from Hospital Compare: Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP), a Web site hosted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in collaboration with the Hospital Quality Alliance (HQA).
Download
Patient Experience
Includes overall rating of outpatient care and services, rating of outpatient provider, recommend outpatient provider, overall HCAHPS inpatient assessment, HCAHPS domains of care and inpatient satisfaction with vascular surgery anesthesia.
