• Pancreatectomy: This surgery to remove all or part of the pancreas has a significant variance in survival rate by hospital, at 19% from 81 to 100%.
• Esophagectomy: An esophagectomy removes all or part of the esophagus. The average survival rate is 90% with a variation by hospital of 88 to 98%.
• Abdominal aortic aneurism (AAA) repair: A surgery to treat an enlarged abdominal aorta has a 13%variation in predicted survival rates from 85.7 to 98.9%.
• Aortic valve replacements (AVR): This heart surgery treats problems with the heart’s aortic valve, and only 15% of hospitals fully met Leapfrog’s standard.
