Orbit II Clinical study

ORBIT II10 Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

The analysis model looked to determine the cost-effectiveness of using the Diamondback 360® Coronary Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS), compared to Medicare data and patients in the HORIZONS-AMI and ACUITY trials, in the treatment of de novo, severely calcified lesions.

Key Takeaways

  • The ORBIT II mean index procedure costs were 17% lower, approximately $2,700
  • Estimated mean revascularization costs were lower by $1,240 in the base case
  • The cost offsets in the first year, on average, fully cover the cost of the device with an additional 1.2% cost savings
  • The study presents low-value and high-value scenarios and concludes that in even the most pessimistic scenario, OAS offers good value with a cost per life-year gained of $11,895
  • For PCI patients with severely calcified coronary lesions, OAS technology is likely to result in lower inpatient costs, particularly for the initial procedure and first 30 days

Study Design

  • 297 patients ≥65 years from the ORBIT II trial of 443 patients
  • Indirectly compared to Medicare data of similar patients (n=308) using observational data for index procedure
  • For revascularization and cardiac death in the following year, used a pooled analysis of the HORIZONS-AMI and ACUITY trials
  • Primary objective: assess the potential cost-effectiveness of the Diamondback 360 OAS for severe coronary artery calcification by modeling:
    • Expected cost offsets during the acute and post-acute care periods
    • Potential reduction in patient mortality and morbidity
    • The comparison of mortality and morbidity impacts relating to the overall cost impact of device use
