Resource Utilization and Costs Associated With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention When Treating Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome in the Mexican National Institute of Cardiology “Ignacio Chávez”

ConclusionThe mean cost per patient shows that PCI is an expensive procedure in Mexico. A lack of subsidies for surgical equipment places a high economic burden on the patient and represents a barrier of access for a vulnerable population that likely increases mortality and morbidity rates in those patients unable to pay for treatment and a potential high burden of debt for those who do pay.
