It is evident to me that one of the consequences of the article by Gary Naglie and colleagues [[1]][1] on the age difference in the cost of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) will be an attempt by the cost managers to reduce the numbers of seniors who have this procedure. This ...
Adding a stent to a procedure with abciximab further decreases the number of revascularizations at an extra cost of Euros 12,000 (95% upper limit (u.l.) Euros 31,000) per additional major adverse cardiac event-free survivor. Adding abciximab to a stenting procedure decreases the incidence of...

If the doctor put in a stent in one of your ureter tubes during surgery, you will have to go back to have it removed within approximately a week's time. This procedure generally is performed right in the doctor's office. In order to maintain good kidney health after your surgery, drink...
the prevalence of cerebrovascular, cardiac and/or orthopedic metal implants will continue to rise in an increasingly aging society45, posing another barrier to future MRI accessibility. In using ULF (<0.1 T) and low-field (<0.5T), metal implants not only exhibit fewer artifacts, but also exper...
Use of a sirolimus-eluting stent increased the cost of the initial procedure by €1,286 (~US$1607) compared with bare-metal stents; however, after 1 year, the additional cost was reduced to €54 (~$67), as a result of the reduced need for repeat revascularizations. Since the RAVEL ...
Finally, Patient C fails patency and an assistive procedure is not undertaken. Of note, total hospital costs were accounted for at each time point. If a patient suffered a complication or adverse event from a given procedure, the financial burden of that event was included in the model (...
