Incremental Cost-Effectiveness of Surgical vs. Percutaneous Treatment of Patent Ductus Arteriosus with the Amplatzerâ„¢ Duct Occluder in Children: A Systematic Review
Conclusions Percutaneous occlusion was associated with less morbidity and shorter hospital stay with similar incremental effectiveness when compared to the surgical treatment. With the direct costs used in this study and considering that the entire population with PDA is treated with the ADO, percutaneous occlusion was less cost-effective. However, a slight reduction in the costs of the percutaneous kit would result in a aceptable ICER threshold for possible incorporation by the SUS. DESCRIPTORS Ductus arteriosus, patent, Heart defects, congenital, Surgery, Prostheses and implants, Cost-benefit analysis. (Source: Revista...

Results of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention According to the Total Ischemic Time
Conclusions Patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention with symptom onset-to-balloon time>6hours presented higher clinical complexity and worse in-hospital outcomes when compared to patients treated earlier. Joint actions in different critical areas of patient care are essential to increase treatment efficacy and reduce adverse outcomes. RESUMO Resultados da Interveção Coronária Percutânea Primária de Acordo com o Tempo Total de Isquemia Introdção O tratamento do infarto agudo do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento de ST tem a intervenção ...
