Primary Economic Drivers…
• Less bleeding and vascular complications with
transradial procedures…Avoidance of
complications
• Access site closure is very reliable….Reduce
workload
• Earlier mobilization of the patient following the
procedure…Decrease length of stay

Economics of TR: Premier Registry
• Analyzed PCI cases from
2004-9
• 609 TR-PCI cases matched
with 60,000 TF-PCI
• Primary endpoint included
total hospital costs
• Stratified patients into low,
middle and high risk for
periprocedural bleeding
• In hospital bleeding (1.5% TR,
2.3% TF)

10. US: Real-world Experience
• 7121 PCI procedures from 5 US
centers, retrospective
• Primary outcomes was cost of
PCI hospitalization
• Direct and indirect costs
combined into a Total cost
• Patients stratified into
bleeding risk categories using
the NCDR CathPCI risk model
• LOS was 0.5d less in TR group
TR Group
• Less STEMI, less emergent
cases
• More GPI, less bival
• Shifted towards lower bleeding
risk patients
• More outpatients, same-day dc

Mean estimatedpost-PCI hospital costs (including abciximab infusion when used,other medications, nursing time, meals, etc..) were $1004 ($929–$1079)in the SDD group versus $3117 ($2975–$3260) in the OHgroup, saving, on average, $2113 per patient (p<0.001).
