ObjectiveThis study analyzed 30-day hospital readmissions after aortoiliac (AI) and infrainguinal (II) revascularization to further characterize readmissions and to identify modifiable targets for reducing readmission rates.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of the large, multicenter, prospectively collected American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data set from 2011. Readmissions were categorized as planned or unplanned and related or unrelated to the index procedure. The primary end point was unplanned readmissions for open and endovascular AI and II procedures. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine independent demographic and preoperative clinical and intraoperative risk ...
