Abstract
Using a merged data set of MCSDs implanted between 2008 and 2013, we report that the vast majority of CMS centers and Medicare beneficiaries receiving MCSDs are increasingly captured in INTERMACS. Accordingly, contemporary studies in INTERMACS are relevant and generalizable to the Medicare population.
