Cost-effectiveness of PCI With Taxus vs CABG - 5 Years FUP
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of the present study is to analyze the cost-effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using TAXUS stents compared to the costs of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) in the first 5 years and then 10 years after intervention. Multivessel PCI or CABG was performed in 114 or 93 patients, respectively. Clinical outcomes, in terms of incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), all-cause death, target vessel revascularization (TVR) and stroke, resource use and costs are analyzed prospectively over a 5 and 10-year follow-up (FUP) period. Overall costs consist of the baseline costs of the index procedure (PCI or CABG), clinical and angiographic procedure-related treatments during the entire FUP. The primary endpoint is cost-effectiveness and clinical effectiveness, defined as the reduction of the composite of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).
