Impact of One-Catheter Strategy on Coronary Catheterization Performance and Costs

1,953 coronary diagnostic procedures from January 2013 to June 2017 compare a one-catheter strategy using a TIG I catheter against a traditional two-catheter approach. The dataset, sourced from a clinical study by Joan Costa-Mateu, records primary and secondary endpoints including contrast volume, radial spasm, fluoroscopy time, radiation exposure, and direct economic costs. Results indicate the one-catheter strategy used less contrast, had lower spasm rates, shorter procedure times, and saved costs per procedure.

Use Cases

• Compare procedural efficiency based on contrast volume and fluoroscopy time metrics.
• Analyze cost-effectiveness of medical device strategies using direct cost data per procedure.
• Evaluate patient safety outcomes based on radial spasm incidence rates.
• Model radiation exposure trade-offs using dose-area product and air kerma measurements.

Strengths

• 1,953 procedures provide a substantial sample size for comparative analysis.
• Data includes multiple validated clinical endpoints (contrast volume, spasm rate, time, cost, radiation).
• Study period spans over 4 years (January 2013 to June 2017).

Limitations

• Row count for individual patient records is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
