6.2.4 Definition of <strong>volume</strong><br />

As is explained in <strong>KCE</strong> report 14, there are four levels of cardiology services in Belgium:<br />

• A hospitals have no catheterization laboratory (i.e. with diagnostic imaging<br />

equipm<strong>en</strong>t used to support the catheterization procedure);<br />

• B1 hospitals perform only diagnostic catheterisations (i.e. coronary<br />

angiographies);<br />

• B2 hospitals perform both diagnostic and interv<strong>en</strong>tional procedures with<br />

the exception of CABG;<br />

• B3 hospitals perform all diagnostic and interv<strong>en</strong>tional cardiac<br />

procedures.57<br />

There are 29 B2/B3 c<strong>en</strong>tres. Procedures that were billed in A c<strong>en</strong>tres but performed in<br />

a B2/B3 c<strong>en</strong>tre (with whom the A c<strong>en</strong>tre has a transfer agreem<strong>en</strong>t) are not inclu<strong>de</strong>d in<br />

the following analyses. It concerns 32 CABGs with/without heart valve repair or<br />

replacem<strong>en</strong>t that were billed in 6 A c<strong>en</strong>tres.<br />
