Abstract

Reimbursement in the healthcare system is shifting from pure volume to a mixed volume/value-based metric. Using complex statistical modeling to adjust for unknowns, the study provides real world data that the use of Co-Cr EES is more cost effective than BMS assuming that clinicians select clopidogrel for P2Y12 inhibition. More cost-effectiveness analyses should be conducted to guide the use of ever costlier novel medical devices and drugs.
