Completed registries

SIR Foundation collaborated with Talosix to support interventional radiologist participation in the existing VCF Registry. Noridian Healthcare Solutions (NHS) issued a local coverage decision (LCD) requiring outcomes data for vertebral augmentation procedures. By working directly with NHS, Talosix provided a standardized approach to submit information to meet these outcomes requirements and comply with the requirements of the LCD.

SIR Foundation covered the cost of participation of a limited number of sites to ensure adequate data collection for coverage purposes and ensure high-quality data submission that will result in improved patient care.

As of April 2018, the registry reached its enrollment goal and it is closed to enrollment. Douglas P. Beall, MD, the lead investigator, is working on manuscripts related to the data. The data has been presented at the following:
