Introduction
Dear Colleagues:
Cardiac Surgery
To promote quality improvement, Missouri Baptist Medical
Center is publishing this 2012 Adult Cardiac Surgery
and Interventional Cardiology Clinical Outcomes Report.
Designed for a physician audience, this report contains a
summary of our surgical and medical trends, patient volumes
and outcomes.
Overall, the success of our cardiothoracic surgery program in the past decade reflects continuous
improvements and innovations in surgery performance, patient safety, and the environment of
a dedicated Cardiovascular and Thoracic surgery unit, committed to by both our experienced
surgical team and Missouri Baptist Medical Center.
In publishing our outcomes for the last four years, we realize
that studying this data always helps us learn and work to
improve clinical measures for our patients. The process has
prompted us to undertake new initiatives, like reducing the
amount of blood transfused and weaning patients sooner
post-operatively from ventilators. Such measures have further
improved the rate at which patients recover, while reducing
incidences of infection.
We believe it is important to study results over time, which
is why we share with you our outcomes as compared to
national data over a 10-year period. It is gratifying to be
able to report that patients undergoing cardiac surgery or
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Missouri
Baptist have benefited from our historically greater freedom
from morbidity and mortality compared to national averages.
Let me also take this opportunity to thank the entire team of
nurses, perfusionists, OR assistants and even the housekeeping
staff, whose attention to detail and patient advocacy makes a
huge difference to our patients.
The cardiac surgery data follows the guidelines issued by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons
(STS) National Adult Cardiac Database and is compared to STS national averages. For the
year ending 12/31/2012, 1,028 participating cardiac surgery programs submitted their results
to this national database, and more than 268,606 procedures were analyzed.
Interventional Cardiology
Missouri Baptist’s Interventional Cardiology Program has been recognized for its outcomes
by HealthGrades®, the leading independent healthcare ratings organization, which has given
Missouri Baptist 5-star ratings for treatment of heart attack, from 2005-2014.
Interventional cardiology outcome data reported here follow the guidelines issued by the
American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry (ACC-NCDR) Cath
PCI Registry® for hospitals that perform these procedures. For the year ending 12/31/2012,
1,398 participating cardiac catheterization programs submitted their results to this national
database, and more than 1.4 million procedures were analyzed.
Electrophysiology
In 2011, Missouri Baptist opened a dedicated Arrhythmia Center within its regionally
acclaimed Heart Center to meet the needs of an increasing population of patients suffering from
abnormal heart rhythms. In 2012, the Electrophysiology Program performed 961 ablations and
implants, up 24% over 2011.

Introduction
Benchmarks
In this report, we focus on three benchmarks:
1. comparison of our procedure volumes to the national averages,
2. comparison of our “risk-adjusted” outcomes to the national averages,
and
3. comparison of our 2012 year results to our historic average
A volume/outcome relationship has been demonstrated for many treatments,
particularly those involving surgical techniques. Utilization of risk-adjusted
algorithms normalizes surgical difficulties and patient risk factors in the
underlying case mix, providing participants with direct outcome comparisons
across a broad spectrum of patients. For this measure, the goal is having a lower
risk-adjusted mortality rate when compared to the national averages.
In 2011, STS started providing the public with access to its data on
cardiac surgical outcomes, launching STS Public Reporting Online
(www.sts.org/publicreporting). Participation in the STS Public Reporting
Online enables STS National Database participants to voluntarily report to each
other and the public their heart bypass surgery, overall composite star ratings
and the component ratings from which those are derived. Missouri Baptist
is one of only eight cardiac surgery programs in Missouri, and only one in the
St. Louis area to voluntarily participate in the STS Public Reporting Online.

About the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database
The STS Database has become the gold standard in cardiac surgery databases.
The STS data is the most objective rating of a cardiac surgery program due to
the large amount of real-time clinical data collected on each patient. Through
the development and rigorous validation of its risk-adjusted algorithms, the STS
database provides valuable research so that hospitals like Missouri Baptist can
review outcomes to improve our programs and the care we provide to patients
every day.
With more than 4.7 million surgical records, the STS National Adult Cardiac
Surgery Database has grown significantly from its start 23 years ago to become
the premier cardiothoracic surgery database in the world. The Society today
represents roughly 1,100 groups that perform cardiac surgery in the United
States. A small group of STS leaders, including Nicholas T. Kouchoukos, MD,
Missouri Baptist Medical Center cardiovascular surgeon, coordinated the first
efforts to collect the data.

No star rating
Of the 994 programs rated and publicly reported by STS, Missouri Baptist was one of 24
programs to receive the “3 star” rating for both Isolated CAB and Isolated AVR procedures.
For Isolated CAB procedures, 15% of participants scored received the “3 star” rating; 76%
received a “2 star” rating; and 9% received a “1 star” rating for the 2012 reporting period.
For Isolated AVR procedures, 6% of participants that were scored received the “3 star” rating;
91% received a “2 star” rating; and 3% received a “1 star” rating for the current reporting
period.
2012 Clinical Outcomes Report: 10 Years of Data for Adult Cardiac Surgery and Interventional Cardiology
Cardiac Surgery Cases: Overall Variety And Volume
In the 10-year period since 2003, Missouri Baptist cardiothoracic surgeons performed 6,786 open heart cases, of which 4,286 were major cases tracked in the
STS database for comparison against the national average. A substantial drop in
cases was noted in 2004 concurrent with the introduction of the drug-eluting
coronary stents and resulting decline in CAB volume. Since 2006, however, we
have seen a steady rise and maintenance of overall volume as national trends
show lower volume.
Our surgeons also treat patients with Marfan syndrome and provide surgical
management of individuals who require transfusionless surgeries, such as
members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
The bar graph below illustrates that the volume of cases at Missouri Baptist
repeatedly exceeds the STS national averages by substantial amounts for both
major cases, as well as for more complex cases. In 2012, Missouri Baptist
cardiothoracic surgeons performed more than 2.5 times the national average.
The volume gap is more exaggerated when comparing volumes of complex
cases performed. In 2012, complex case volume at Missouri Baptist was 235
cases, which is three times greater than the national average. In 2012, Missouri
Baptist was approved to be among the first non-academic heart centers in the
country to offer transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
We offer a full spectrum of adult cardiac surgical procedures, including
common procedures, such as isolated coronary artery bypass grafting and valve
cases, and less common but usually more complex procedures for combined
coronary and valve disease, aortic aneurysms and dissections, cardiac tumors,
cardiac arrhythmias, multivalve disease, ventricular remodeling for heart failure
and redo heart surgeries.

At Missouri Baptist, efforts to minimize the risk of stroke include preoperative
carotid Doppler ultrasound and thoracic aortic CT scans; intraoperative
epiaortic ultrasound; cerebral oximetry monitoring to assess blood flow to both
sides of the brain during surgery; alternative cannulation strategies (i.e. axillary
artery cannulation to avoid densely calcified aortas); and deep hypothermic
circulatory arrest to lower brain oxygen requirements in particularly
complex cases.

Missouri Baptist Medical Center Deep sternal wound infection is defined in the STS database as an infection
within 30 days postoperatively, involving muscle, bone, and/or mediastinum
requiring operative intervention. By definition, it must have ALL of the following
conditions: 1) Wound opened with excision of tissue (I&D) or re-exploration
of mediastinum; 2) Positive culture; and 3) Treatment with antibiotics.
As a result of strict adherence to CDC antibiotic guideline protocols, we also
achieved a 100% compliance rate with timing and 100% on choice of antibiotic
administration.

Coronary Artery Bypass (CAB)
Missouri Baptist surgeons performed 3,688 coronary bypass grafting procedures, including 2,996 isolated CABs during the 10-year period, a substantially higher volume than the STS national average. Following the wide spread
adoption of drug-eluting stents in 2004, the number of CAB cases declined
nationwide. In 2007 and 2008, we began to see an increase again, as more
interventional cardiologists refer their complex coronary artery disease patients
to our institution.
Use of arterial grafting is increasing at Missouri Baptist. Internal mammary
artery grafts (IMAs) are a national CAB quality metric, since arterial grafts have
been shown to provide longer durability and better performance. IMAs were
used in 98% of Missouri Baptist CAB patients in 2012 compared to only 74%
in 2001. Additionally in 2012, 11.5% of patients received a radial arterial graft
compared to a national average of approximately 4.6%
Recent initiatives also have focused on minimizing blood product utilization.
Our introduction of sophisticated intraoperative coagulation monitoring
via thromboelastograms (TEGs) has allowed us to tailor blood product
administration to each patient’s specific coagulation deficiencies. This has been
demonstrated to benefit those patients coming to the operating room urgently
or emergently with a coexisting coagulopathy or on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy.
Our focus is on complete revascularization and technically perfect bypass
grafting. In the vast majority of cases, we feel this is best accomplished in a
motionless, bloodless field “on pump” with the heart arrested. According to the
STS database, in 2012, 82% of all isolated CABs nationwide were performed
“on pump.” We reserve off-pump approaches for patients at extreme risk.

Coronary Artery Bypass First Operation, Non-Emergent: Internal Mammary Artery Use (2010)
In 2012, 98% of our isolated coronary bypass patients (first operation) received
an internal mammary artery (IMA) graft (a National Quality Forum quality
outcomes measure). Studies have shown that the use of the left internal Both IMAs

mammary artery is associated with improved long-term results from coronary
artery bypass surgery.
In most instances where an IMA was not used, the absence of a left anterior
descending artery lesion, unstable emergencies, prior chest wall radiation,
and/or extremes of age, obesity and pulmonary insufficiency, precluded its use.

Emergent CAB and Re-Do Surgeries Increase
Due to the increasingly high volume of STEMI patients seen at Missouri
Baptist, especially those transported from rural hospitals through the Heart
LifeLine Alliance program, emergent CAB continues to run high at 3.7% of
CAB patients. The national average is 4.7%.
As a destination center for CAB re-do operations, Missouri Baptist showed
higher percentage of 5.6% of our CAB cases versus 3.0% for the national
average. CAB re-do mortality at Missouri Baptist in 2012 was at 0% compared
to 3.2% for the national average.

2012 Clinical Outcomes Report: 10 Years of Data for Adult Cardiac Surgery and Interventional Cardiology
Aortic Valve Operations: 2003-2012
Our practice performed nearly 3,310 valve procedures in 2,950 patients over the
past 10 years. More than 35% of these cases required some degree of coronary
revascularization, approximately 20% required a redosternotomy, and 11.4%
involved more than one valve procedure.
As is the case nationally, more patients are choosing and receiving thirdgeneration tissue valve replacement versus mechanical valves, which require
lifelong anticoagulation. In 2012, 84% of isolated AVRs and 100% of AVR/
CAB patients received tissue valves at Missouri Baptist, up from 72% just five
years ago for AVR. Efforts to maximize valve area and therefore minimize AV
gradients have included aortic annulus enlargement in approximately 1.5%
of patients and use of newer stentless valve replacements, such as the 3F and
Freestyle valves.
In 2012, Missouri Baptist cardiothoracic surgeons performed 128 major
isolated aortic valve replacement procedures. In addition, another 70 patients
received AVR or AVr as part of other complex procedures, the most common
being AVR plus ascending aortic aneurysm resection.

Aortic Valve Operations: 2003-2012
New catheter-based aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
More than 1.5 million people in the U.S. suffer from aortic stenosis, and
some 250,000 of these patients are considered severe. Surgical replacement
has been used with great success in younger, low risk patients; however, a
large patient population exists that have been considered ineligible for
surgery due to age, left ventricular dysfunction and co-morbidities.
Part II of the PARTNER trial (The Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves)
addressed this high-risk patient population with an investigation comparing
standard therapy to transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI). The
study found that less-invasive catheter-based aortic valve replacement has a
greater survival rate for patients, 20 percent greater after a TAVR procedure
versus standard therapy one year later.
Using the recently FDA-approved transcatheter aortic heart valve, Edwards
SAPIEN, our cardiac team replaces the diseased aortic heart valve through
a small incision in the groin without open-heart surgery or the use of the
heart-lung machine.
MoBap also offers an alternative valve replacement option through an
incision in the ribs. This method may require a larger incision, but is still less
invasive than bypass and could benefit patients with very small blood vessels.
From June-December 2012, the MoBap team of interventional cardiologists
and cardiac surgeons performed 22 TAVR cases; 70 patients were referred
for consideration.
Missouri Baptist Medical
Center was one of the first in
the region to offer transcatheter
aortic valve replacements.

Isolated mitral valve repair has now become our single most common major
mitral valve operation, exceeding mitral valve replacement, mitral valve
replacement + CAB, and mitral valve repair + CAB over the last five years.
Over the past 10 years, our average risk-adjusted mortality rate for mitral valve
replacement is 1.3%, with near-zero mortality reported during the last seven years.
Mitral Valve Complex Cases
In addition to the 59 major mitral valve cases, we also performed an additional
41 complex MVr procedures in 2012. Whenever the valve pathology permits,
we strive for repair over replacement.

Thoracic Aortic Procedures
Thoracic aortic disease encompasses a broad spectrum of pathologies (including
aneurysms, penetrating ulcers, intramural hematomas, and acute or chronic
dissections) involving multiple, distinct anatomic regions from the aortic root,
through the ascending aorta and aortic arch, to the descending thoracic and
thoracoabdominal aorta. It often presents with urgent or emergent indications,
and usually requires complex anesthesiology and cardiopulmonary bypass
support due to altered cerebral and end-organ perfusion. Successful therapy
of thoracic aortic disease depends on a team of experienced surgeons, RNs,
anesthesiologists and perfusionists.
In 1997, Dr. Nicholas Kouchoukos greatly expanded the aortic surgical
program at Missouri Baptist. As a result, he and his partners have performed
more than 1,000 thoracic aortic procedures since 2000, including nearly 100
cases each year in the last seven years.

Treatment Of Marfan Syndrome
Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that can affect the heart, blood
vessels, lungs, eyes, bones and ligaments. In Marfan syndrome, the protein
necessary for strengthening the connective tissue, fibrillin 1, does not work
properly, affecting the growth and development of the body.
Approximately 90% of patients with Marfan syndrome experience changes in
their heart or blood vessels. The most serious problem associated with Marfan
syndrome is weakness of the aorta (the body’s largest artery). People with Marfan
syndrome often develop thoracic aortic aneurysms, typically at the aortic root,
and without treatment, they are at risk of death from dissection or tearing of
the aorta.
Aortic Root Surgeries: Case Volume
Dr. Nicholas Kouchoukos is well known for his expertise in the diagnosis
and surgical treatment of Marfan syndrome. In total, he and his colleagues
have performed 417 procedures involving the aortic root during a 10-year
period, utilizing composite mechanical roots, porcine roots, homograft root
replacements and valve-sparing procedures.

Missouri Baptist was the only hospital in the St. Louis region to receive 5-star
ratings for the treatment of heart attack for 10 years in a row, 2005-2014.
Missouri Baptist Medical Center is a regional referral center for percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI). In 2012, physicians in the catheterization
laboratory performed 5,903 procedures for patients with simple and complex
ischemic heart disease.
Over the past 10 years, volume has remained relatively consistent, with more
than 900 PCI procedures per year.
Patients who underwent PCI procedures at Missouri Baptist in 2012 had
an overall lower complication rate than the national average.
Some 22% of our PCI patients have had a prior heart attack, and one in four
are over age 75, while one in three have diabetes and 39% multi-vessel disease.
One-third of our patients travel more than 50 miles to be treated at Missouri
Baptist, and many are transported by helicopter from regional hospital ERs
to the Missouri Baptist Cath Lab.

Interventional Cardiology Overview
Case Review with Cardiac Cath and Surgery Teams
At Missouri Baptist, the cardiothoracic surgeons and interventional cardiologists
convene weekly for peer case review. Such collaboration between surgeons and
cardiologists is the hallmark of our program and has led to improved outcomes,
better coordination of treatment planning, an increasingly higher quality of
care and top decile patient satisfaction.
Door-to-Balloon Time
The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/
AHA) practice guidelines strongly recommend that patients with ST-elevated
acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) receive PCI balloon inflation within
90 minutes of arrival in the Emergency Department to reduce mortality
and morbidity.
In 2012, Missouri Baptist achieved a mean door-to-balloon time of 56.5
minutes, with 100% of cases meeting the 90-minute threshold.
Heart LifeLine Alliance
In 2008, Missouri Baptist cardiologists and emergency medicine physicians
teamed to develop an effective, regional system of protocols for the diagnosis,
stabilization, transport and treatment of patients presenting with STEMI
in rural emergency departments. The protocols allow local health providers
to activate the Missouri Baptist Cardiac Cath Lab at the same time they are
calling for transport by medical helicopter. EKG results are transmitted to the
Emergency Department and Cardiac Cath Lab at Missouri Baptist. Upon
arrival, the patient is met by the Cardiac Cath Lab team for immediate transport
to the Cath Lab.

Electrophysiology Procedures for Arrhythmias
In 2011, Missouri Baptist opened a dedicated Arrhythmia Center within its
regionally acclaimed Heart Center to meet the needs of an increasing population
of patients suffering abnormal heart rhythms. In 2012, the Electrophysiology
program performed 961 ablations and implants, up 24% over 2011.
Electrophysiologists at Missouri Baptist are performing cutting-edge procedures,
often using robotic magnetic navigation, to map the heart and guide ablations
in areas of the heart previously inaccessible with manual ablation.
help the heart perform more efficiently by synchronizing the left and right
ventricles of the heart through timed electrical pulses.
The team also was first in the St. Louis region to provide CryoAblation Balloon
Catheter, a new technology to treat atrial fibrillation. Using a new balloon
catheter system, doctors are able to freeze the small sections in the heart that
cause the erratic and irregular heart rhythm, offering the potential to cure
patients with this life-disrupting arrhythmia.
In 2012, the team was the first in Missouri to implant a new type of cardiac
resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D), designed to better manage
heart failure in patients. CRT-Ds regulate the heart’s pumping function and
