โฆ Synopsis
Angiography and Interventions was created as a resource for physicians and administrators to provide comprehensive independent outside review services for cardiac catheterization laboratories. Since 1989, when the committee began its work, surveys of 23 catheterization laboratories have been completed. Our review of this experience identified several recurring problems among the laboratories. The purpose of this paper is to summarize our experience and highlight the lessons we learned in the hope that this information will benefit many other laboratories.
