Cost-effectiveness Analysis of AngioJet and CDT for Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis Among Chinese Population

AngioJet has sufficient safety and efficacy in the treatment of acute and subacute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT). But the price of consumables used by AngioJet is relatively high and there is a lack of relevant research on health economics to measure the benefits to patients. Objective of this study is to estimate the cost effectiveness of AngioJet compared with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) among Chinese population. Using a Markov decision model, we compared the 2 treatment strategies in patients with LEDVT. The model captured the development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), recurrent venous thromboembolism, and treatment-related adverse events within a lifetime horizon and the perspective of a third-party payer. Model uncertainty was assessed with one-way and Monte Carl sensitivity analyses. The clinical inputs were obtained from the literature. Costs obtained from the hospital accounts and the literature are expressed in US dollars ($). Utilities were defined as quality adjusted life years (QALY). In cost-effectiveness analysis, AngioJet accumulated $1064.6445/QALY compared with $2080.1561/QALY after CDT treatment alone. AngioJet has higher long-term cost-effectiveness than CDT at a willingness to pay threshold of $11 233.52. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that the utilities of PTS and post-LEDVT state had significant influence on the results and the model maintained a strong stability under  ± 10% fluctuation of utilities. Monte Carl sensitivity analysis shows that AngioJet model has strong stability and AngioJet has higher long-term cost-effectiveness than CDT. AngioJet is likely to be a cost-effective alternative to the CDT for patients with LEDVT.
