    Analysis Shows ACIST CVi System Lowers Costs, Improves Patient Safety for Coronary Catheterizations

    An economic model analysis demonstrates $464,498 in annual cost-savings to hospitals based on 3,500 annual coronary procedures.

    PR Newswire07.15.19
    ACIST Medical Systems, an interventional and diagnostic technology company with a portfolio of advanced products for the cardiac cath lab, announced the results of an economic analysis demonstrating the ACIST CVi contrast delivery system significantly reduces costs, increases operational efficiency and improves patient safety for coronary catheterizations compared with manual injection of contrast media. 

    A high prevalence of patients undergoing coronary catheterization procedures have co-morbidities that may increase their risk to develop post-procedure contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), which can be caused by contrast delivered during angiographic imaging. This can increase hospital readmission rates, treatment costs, and in some cases, can necessitate dialysis treatments. The economic model analysis conducted by George Wright, Ph.D., lead author and research associate at Cornerstone Research Group, demonstrated $464,498 in annual cost-savings to hospitals based on 3,500 annual coronary procedures. This savings was due to reduced incidence of CI-AKI and reduced contrast use with the CVi system compared with manual injection. The CVi System reduced contrast volume by approximately 25 percent by allowing precise control of contrast injections with the AngioTouch hand controller versus hand manifold. The ACIST CVi also continuously tracked contrast volume delivery, allowing physicians to ensure contrast delivery remains below target thresholds for at-risk patients. Lower contrast volume reduced the incidence of CI-AKI by up to 30 percent. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses considered vascular closure device (VCD) use and complications avoided by using the CVi System, leading to even greater cost savings ranging from $756,818 to $858,486 annually. 
     
    "The ACIST CVi System pioneered precision contrast injections for angiography. This economic model clearly shows that, in addition to superior clinical utility and safety, CVi also delivers significant cost savings," said Dr. Robert Wilson, founder of ACIST Medical Systems Inc., and an interventional cardiologist at University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis. "The ability to customize the contrast delivery based on clinical situation and patient need is invaluable, and it saves costs at the same time."
     
    "As value-based medicine continues to be of growing importance in hospital decision-making, we're pleased that the findings from this economic analysis support incorporating the ACIST CVi System for cardiovascular angiographic imaging across all procedures," said Brad Fox, president and CEO, ACIST Medical Systems Inc. "This analysis and its findings reflect our commitment to developing and supporting advanced technologies that simplify procedures, and help physicians improve patient safety while reducing institutional costs." 
     
    The ACIST CVi System simplifies and standardizes contrast injections for all procedures— from small injections in the coronary arteries to large volume injections in the ventricles, aorta and peripheral vasculature— while enhancing safety, efficiency, control and image quality. The ACIST CVi all-in-one angiographic imaging system has been used to diagnose and treat more than 30 million patients in 60 countries.
     
    ACIST Medical Systems Inc. is an interventional and diagnostic technology company with a portfolio of advanced products, including the world's first Rapid Exchange FFR and High Definition IVUS systems. It also develops advanced contrast imaging systems for cardiovascular angiography and radiology imaging. Through these products, ACIST is demonstrating its commitment to bringing technologies that simplify cardiovascular procedures and empower clinicians to treat patients with care. As part of the Bracco Group, ACIST benefits from the resources of a multinational conglomerate with broad expertise in cath lab technology and a dedication to continuous advancement. Headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minn., ACIST has worldwide presence with over 300 direct employees and facilities in Silicon Valley, Heerlen, and Tokyo. 

    Bracco is headquartered in Milan, Italy, and was founded in 1927. It is active in the healthcare sector through Bracco Imaging (diagnostic imaging), ACIST Medical Systems and HLT (cardiology) and the Centro Diagnostico Italiano diagnostic clinic. It has around 3,400 employees and annual total consolidated revenues of over 1.3 billion euros. Bracco operates in more than 100 countries worldwide.
