Abstract
A significant percentage of procedural deaths occur after transfer or discharge from the index hospital. This is especially evident in the percutaneous coronary intervention group. These findings illustrate the importance of the definition of “operative” mortality and the need to ensure accuracy in the reporting of data to voluntary clinical registries, such as the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database and National Cardiovascular Data Registry.
