Temporal Changes in Coronary Revascularization Procedures, Outcomes, and Costs in the Bare-Metal Stent and Drug-Eluting Stent Eras

Abstract: Background-Although drug-eluting stents have been shown to be cost-effective compared with bare-metal stents for select clinical trial patients, whether these findings apply to the general population is unknown.

“…Ryan and colleagues found no significant change in mortality between 2001 and 2004 among a large sample of Medicare beneficiaries who underwent revascularization; however, the inclusion criterion was coronary revascularization, not myocardial infarction. 34 Our discordant findings may reflect advances in overall management of acute coronary syndromes made in the past few years, with emphasis on the combination of effective medical therapies and invasive procedures, in addition to improved logistics of care. This hypothesis is supported by our observation of improvement in outcomes over time in spite of worsening comorbidity profiles.…”

“…14 Whether these events reflect progression of atherosclerosis or unrecognized ischemia at originally untreated sites, staging of complex PCI procedures, or complications arising from the drug-eluting stent itself (ie, restenosis or stent thrombosis [ST]) is not known. To address this question, we used data from the Evaluation of Drug-Eluting Stents and Ischemic Events (EVENT) registry to evaluate the frequency, predictors, and timing of repeat revascularization, both planned and unplanned, during the first year after contemporary PCI.…”

“…Most studies examined data after the approval and marketing of DES (April 2003 in the U.S.), but a few studies compared outcomes before and after DES became available (22,25 strong selection bias for DES over BMS, with differences in many measured clinical characteristics and presumably many differences in unmeasured characteristics, such as likely adherence to antiplatelet therapy. Most studies used propensity score methods to control for selection bias evident from measured clinical characteristics.…”
