PND28 Budget Impact Analysis of the Incorporation of Mechanical Thrombectomy with Stent Retrievers after Thrombolysis in Ischemic-Stroke with Large Vessel Occlusion in Obras Sociales and Empresas De Medicina Prepaga in Argentina

Stroke is associated with high clinical and economic burden of disease. Available treatments for stroke due to Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) in Argentina are Thrombolysis (IV-tPA) and Mechanical Thrombectomy (MT). Despite its clinical benefits, MT coverage in Argentina is low. A Budget-Impact Analysis (BIA) was conducted to estimate the financial impact of incorporating MT after IV-TPA in Obras Sociales and Empresas de Medicina Prepaga (EMP) in Argentina.
