Office based interventional procedures continue to increase in number and scope. An overview of the Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society (OEIS) National Registry (OEISNR) is described in this article. Currently there is one production module enrolling peripheral artery interventional procedures, and a new cardiac module encompassing both diagnostic catheterization/percutaneous coronary interventions and electrophysiology procedures is undergoing beta testing.

Purpose: To present a new outcomes-based registry to collect data on outpatient endovascular interventions, a relatively new site of service without adequate historical data to assess best clinical practices. Quality data collection with subsequent outcomes analysis, benchmarking, and direct feedback is necessary to achieve optimal care.

Materials And Methods: The Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society (OEIS) established the OEIS National Registry in 2017 to collect data on safety, efficacy, and quality of care for outpatient endovascular interventions.

Objective: The Venogram vs IVUS for Diagnosing Iliac vein Obstruction (VIDIO) trial was designed to compare the diagnostic efficacy of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) with multiplanar venography for iliofemoral vein obstruction.

Methods: During a 14-month period beginning July 2014, 100 patients with chronic Clinical, Etiologic, Anatomic, and Pathophysiologic clinical class C4 to C6 venous disease and suspected iliofemoral vein obstruction were enrolled at 11 U.S.

Background: Endovascular interventions for May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) have become first-line therapy, often performed in a young patient population despite the lack of robust supportive data. This article reports on long-term outcomes from a large series of patients treated in the setting of de novo or postthrombotic presentation.

Methods: A retrospective review of MTS patients treated between 2006 and 2010 was conducted at two institutions.
