2011 in Review {
16 abstracts accepted for presentation
8 manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journals
3 investigator meetings, with one dedicated solely to the Interventional Cohort
16 topics suggested for the AHA 2012 submission
32 projects in preparation
IRAD by the Numbers
In 2011 (compared to 2010):
135.2% increase in IVC data
26.1% increase in overall patient enrollment
10.9% increase in follow-up forms completed
50.0% increase in yearly manuscript publication
16.7% increase in annual abstract acceptance
So far in 2012, there has been a 28.6% increase in accepted abstracts when compared to 2011
IRAD by the Numbers
3 international investigators visited the coordinating center:
Toru Suzuki – Medications in Aortic Dissection; Medications in Marfan Syndrome Patients
Truls Myrmel and Magnus Larsen – False Lumen Thrombosis and Left Renal Artery Involvement
4 investigators plan to visit MCORRP:
Linda Pape – Trends in IRAD
Magnus Larsen – Left Renal Artery Involvement, Aortic Rupture on Follow-Up

IRAD by the Numbers
Future Directions {
Standardize training for data abstraction
Improve follow-up percentages
Enroll 1000 patients into the IVC registry; publish subgroup-focused papers and incorporate new surgical data into other IRAD projects.
Registry Aims for 2012
Expand IRAD to new sites using the pay-to-play model, focusing on geographical diversity and high-enrolling surgical and endovascular centers of excellence
Begin work on IRAD imaging protocols
Disseminate information gleaned from the patient education survey
