Abstract
A decision tree from the health system perspective was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of Diamondback 360® Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS), a novel device designed to facilitate treatment of calcified lesions. OAS was projected to cost $1702 less than standard treatment for inpatients, $2360 more than standard treatment for outpatients, and $959 more than standard treatment overall; the projected mortality reduction implies 0.41 life-years gained. Compared to standard treatment, OAS was dominant in an inpatient setting, had an ICER of $5759 per QALY in the outpatient setting, and overall had an ICER of $2340 per QALY.
