2012, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :There was considerable heterogeneity within groups, suggesting that hospital volume was not the sole determinant of outcome. There are other studies that support the relationship of complication rate to institutional procedural volume (80,162,163). However, some investigators have pointed out that despite data that low procedure volume is poorly related to outcomes (164), many of these studies are small in number and underpowered (165).

2006, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is now the most common mode of coronary revascularization and is performed in >500 000 patients in the United States each year. Many US studies have found a strong association between the annual number of PCI procedures performed by individual physicians and the clinical outcomes after PCI, particularly death and/or need for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).1-7 No studies have examined whether this volume-outcome phenomenon exists in Canada.
