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

• Stratified patients into low,
middle and high risk for
periprocedural bleeding
• In hospital bleeding (1.5% TR,

Editor's Notes

  • #19 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&lt;0.001).
