The cost-effectiveness of radial access percutaneous coronary intervention: A propensity-score matched analysis of Victorian data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite evidence of the comparative benefits of transradial access percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over transfemoral access, its uptake remains highly varied across Australia. Few studies have explored the implications of the choice of access site during PCI from the perspective of the Australian healthcare setting. We, therefore, performed a cost-effectiveness analysis of radial versus femoral access PCI.

Methods

Data from the Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (VCOR) were used to inform our economic analyses. Patients treated through either radial or femoral access PCI were propensity score-matched using the inverse probability weighted (IPW) method, and the incidence of major bleeding and all-cause mortality in the cohort was used to inform an economi
