Abstract 244: Revision of the Consent Form for Coronary Angiography Procedures Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: In a representative assessment of coronary angiography and PCI outcomes, some major complications are higher that those reported in international literature. Significant access site bleeding was low, likely explained by the high prevalence of radial procedures. Future iterations of the patient information sheet and consent form may be improved by providing personalized risks.

Abstract 132: The POWR Survey: Patient and Physician Perspectives on Outcomes Weighting in Revascularization. Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Patients and physicians agree on which outcomes are most (death and stroke)and least impactful (incision scar), but there is a lot of variability in between supporting the reporting of more adverse outcomes and not just those included in MACE.

Abstract 250: Economic Burden of Mortality and Cardiovascular Events among Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes in a Commercial Health Plan Poster Session III
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that a modest 10% increase in anticoagulant use among patients with ACS would reduce mortality, MI, ST and related healthcare costs by 4%, 0.7%, and 3%, respectively. Addition of anticoagulation therapy potentially reduces the incidence of ACS-related mortality, MI, ST and associated healthcare costs to a commercial health plan, and benefits from anticoagulation use should be balanced against the risk of bleeding.
