Mind the Gaps: Comparing Vascular Quality Initiative and National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Populations and Outcomes in Open Infrainguinal Bypass
The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) and the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Procedure Targeted (NSQIP-PT) databases both aim to prospectively capture key variables related to vascular surgical procedures nationwide in order to track outcomes and improve quality. Both of these databases, however, are subject to bias based on voluntary hospital participation, and only VQI captures all consecutive procedures within a procedural area (eg, infrainguinal bypass, suprainguinal bypass), whereas NSQIP uses a sample of the total cases by institution.

Comparison of open and endovascular treatment of patients with critical limb ischemia in the Vascular Quality Initiative
There is significant controversy in the management of critical limb ischemia (CLI) arising from infrainguinal peripheral arterial disease. We sought to compare practice patterns and perioperative and long-term outcomes for patients undergoing lower extremity bypass (LEB) and percutaneous vascular interventions (PVIs) for CLI in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI).

Outcomes after External Iliac and Femoral Vascular Injuries
Vascular injuries occurring at the junction of the trunk and lower extremity are uncommon yet challenging because of their location and potential for associated truncal injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine and compare outcomes among patients sustaining external iliac and femoral vascular injuries.

Factors Associated with Amputation after Popliteal Vascular Injuries
The objectives of this study were to evaluate outcomes after popliteal vascular injury and to identify predictors of amputation.

Treatment outcomes and lessons learned from 5134 cases of outpatient office-based endovascular procedures in a vascular surgical practice.
CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular procedure can be performed safely in an office-based facility with excellent outcomes. Lessons learned in establishing office-based endovascular suites with efforts to reduce procedural complications and optimize quality patient care are discussed.

Consensus recommendations for essential vascular care in low- and middle-income countries
Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are ill equipped to care for the large and growing burden of vascular conditions. We aimed to develop essential vascular care recommendations that would be feasible for implementation at nearly every setting worldwide, regardless of national income.

Robot assisted Aortic and Non-aortic Vascular Operations
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical experience with 310 robot assisted vascular procedures. The da Vinci system has been used by a variety of disciplines for laparoscopic procedures but the use of robots in vascular surgery is still relatively uncommon.

A Vascular Quality Initiative-Based Frailty Instrument Predicts 9-Month Postoperative Mortality
The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) collects data pertaining to frailty that in turn correlates with survival. We sought to develop and to validate a VQI-based frailty instrument to predict longer term survival in patients undergoing vascular surgery.

Isolated Iliac Vascular Injuries: Morbidity of Repair Versus Ligation of Iliac Vein Injury
The morbidity and mortality for iliac vascular injuries in the literature are likely to be overestimated because of associated injuries, and data for isolated iliac vascular injuries are limited. No large studies have reported the incidence of morbidity for repair vs ligation of isolated iliac vein injuries. Novel endovascular therapies have refocused attention on the algorithm for pelvic trauma, and balloon occlusion of the aorta may allow more expeditious repair of arterial injuries.

Variation in Hospital Costs and Reimbursement for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair —A Vascular Quality Initiative Pilot Project
Comparing costs between centers is difficult because of the heterogeneity of vascular procedures contained in broad diagnosis-related group (DRG) billing categories. The purpose of this pilot project was to develop a mechanism to merge Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) clinical data with hospital billing data to allow more accurate cost and reimbursement comparison for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedures across centers.

Nicotine Dependence and Willingness to Quit Smoking in Vascular Surgery Patients
Smoking rates have declined; however, it remains the primary modifiable risk factor for vascular disease. Whereas vascular surgeons often advise patients to quit, few provide assistance. We sought to understand patients' interest in quitting and to determine factors that influence this willingness to quit.
