  2. Conflicts of Interest Study funding • Cordis, Inc. Other Research Grants • Millenium Pharmaceuticals • The Medicines Company • Eli Lilly • Guidant • Boston Scientific • Medtronic

  3. Background • Recent studies have demonstrated that sirolimus-eluting stents dramatically reduce both angiographic and clinical restenosis compared with conventional stenting • The incremental cost of this technology is substantial, however, and may pose a barrier to widespread adoption at both the hospital and health system level • Nonetheless, sirolimus-eluting stents may be reasonably cost-effective if follow-up costs are substantially reduced due to avoidance of rehospitalization and repeat revascularization procedures

  4. Objectives • To compare the in-hospital and long-term costs of PCI using the sirolimus-eluting stent with those of PCI using conventional, bare metal stents • To examine the overall cost-effectiveness of the sirolimus-eluting stent compared with conventional stenting in patients undergoing PCI of “real world” coronary lesions • To examine the impact of clinical restenosis on long-term costs of care for patients undergoing PCI in contemporary practice

  5. SIRIUS Patient Population Inclusion Criteria • De novo coronary lesion documented myocardial ischemia • Lesion length 15-30 mm (visual estimate) • Reference vessel diameter 2.5 – 3.5 mm (visual estimate)

  6. SIRIUS Patient Population Exclusion Criteria • Planned multivessel or staged PCI • Major sidebranch involvement • Total occlusion • Ostial location • Recent MI • Chronic renal insufficiency • Allergy to ASA or thienopyridine

  7. Randomized Patients (n=1101) Deregistered (n=23) Deregistered (n=20) Sirolimus-Eluting BX Velocity Stent (n=533) Control BX Velocity Stent (n=525) 9 month primary endpoint: Target Vessel Failure 12-month clinical f/u Cost-effectiveness

  15. SIRIUS 1-Year Medical Care Costs D = +$309 (p=0.64) $16,813 + 9737 $16,504 + 11,511

  16. SIRIUS: Cost-Effectiveness Results

  17. Summary/Conclusions • These results suggest that use of the sirolimus-eluting stent is highly cost-effective for the target population of the SIRIUS trial • Availability of longer stents and improved implantation techniques should further enhance the cost-effectiveness of this technology in the immediate future. • Further studies are necessary to extend these findings to other populations including diffuse disease, SVG disease, and multivessel PCI
