Venous Registry

Venous disease remains understudied and is severely underestimated for its effects on public health.

The AVF gathered the leading venous disease experts at its 2006 Pacific Vascular Symposium to identify a way to improve patient care, leading to the idea of a comprehensive venous disease registry.

By identifying practice patterns across the US, and across multiple specialties, the American Venous Registry (AVR) will be a powerful tool for the development of venous disease treatment guidelines, evidence-based modification of public policy, and re-direction of health care resources.

The AVR will enable clinicians to assess functional outcomes and comparatively analyze clinical approaches to venous disease management by:

• Collecting, standardizing, and evaluating data on venous disease
• Identifying practice patterns for venous disease diagnosis and treatment
• Providing a real-time clinical practice tool, resulting in enhanced patient care

The AVR is comprised of five modules, with data points geared to salient outcomes such as the CEAP score and Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS):

• Varicose Vein (Live)
• Stent (Live)
• IVC Filter (Live)
• DVT Thrombectomy/Lysis (Future)
• Upper Extremity DVT (Future)
