BACKGROUND The long‐term safety of paclitaxel‐coated devices (PCDs; drug‐coated balloon or drug‐eluting stent) for peripheral endovascular intervention is uncertain. We used data from the Veterans Health Administration to evaluate association between PCDs, mortality, and cause death. METHODS AND RESULTS Using Corporate Data Warehouse in conjunction with International Classification Diseases, Tenth Revision ( ICD‐10 ) Procedure Coding System, Current Procedural Terminology, Healthcare Common...
Background Systematic surveillance for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the United States has been recommended by several organizations. Despite adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) most health care providers and facilities, however, systematic VTE is not available. Objectives This article develops a comprehensive, population-based strategy defined geographical region. Methods The primary combined computerized searches EMR with manual review imaging data at Duke University Health...

Background It is unclear whether diagnostic protocols based on cardiac markers to identify low‐risk chest pain patients suitable for early release from the emergency department can be applied older than 65 years or with traditional risk factors. Methods and Results In a single‐center retrospective study of 231 consecutive high‐risk factor burden in which first troponin ( cT n) level was measured second n sample drawn 4 14 hours later, we compared performance modified 2‐Hour Accelerated...
Introduction: The strong correlation between early termination of dual antiplatelet therapy and stent thrombosis in patients treated with drug-eluting stents (DES) warrants emphasis on appropriate selection for DES. Using a simple questionnaire administered pre-procedurally, we aimed to determine which clinical factors might predict the use DES during PCI. Hypothesis: A “yes” response any item pre-PCI (table 1) will decrease odds Methods: Durham Veterans Affairs electronic health record,...
