Authors' objectives:

The objectives of the study are twofold (1) To estimate the reduction in the risk of repeat revascularization associated with the use of DES, relative to BMS, among patients at high risk of restenosis; and (2) Combining the data from the registry study with costs and other published evidence, to estimate the net cost and costeffectiveness of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with DES, relative to BMS.

Authors' recommendations: The results from the field evaluation, as found in the interim evaluation, continue to indicate that DES reduces predicted revascularization rates at 2 year compared to BMS in some but not all patient cohorts. This unique evaluation of “real-world” experience with the use of DES compared to BMS provides insight into the efficacy of DES in patients with specific baseline characteristics divided by lesion characteristics. In non Post MI patients, diabetes DES appears to be most effective in reducing the need for revascularization in patients with long or narrow lesions. DES as compared to BMS does not appear to provide a reduction in revascularization rates, after 2 years following the index PCI, in patients with short and wide lesions, in patients with and without diabetes.The economic analysis incorporating “real-world” data from over 16,000 patients in Ontario found that for the majority of cohorts that the cost-effectiveness ratio for DES compared to BMS was above $200,000/QALY. The absolute difference of approximately 12% was found in revascularization rates between the two interventions in this non-post MI, diabetes with narrow lesions.
