► Bleeding is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes among patients with ACS and those undergoing PCI
Mortality rates are higher among those who bleed
MI rates are higher among those who bleed
► The risk is “loss-dependent” with worse bleeding associated with worse outcomes
► This relationship is persistent after robust statistical adjustment for confounders

► The available costs data confirms that a balance must be struck between ischemia reduction and bleeding.
► Both ischemic complications and bleeding are associated with increased costs.

► Antithrombotic therapies are cornerstone RxAntithrombotic therapies are cornerstone Rx Must balance thrombosis and hemostasisMust balance thrombosis and hemostasis
► Certain patient and PCI procedure Certain patient and PCI procedure characteristics predict bleedingcharacteristics predict bleeding Age, female gender, CKD, procedure time, Age, female gender, CKD, procedure time,

► In addition to clinical outcomes, bleeding is In addition to clinical outcomes, bleeding is associated with increased cost of careassociated with increased cost of care
► Bleeding costs can offset the savings Bleeding costs can offset the savings realized by reduced ischemic realized by reduced ischemic complicationscomplications
►Given the body of evidence related to bleeding Given the body of evidence related to bleeding and transfusion, therapies that can reduce and transfusion, therapies that can reduce ischemia while minimizing the risk for bleeding ischemia while minimizing the risk for bleeding have the potential to further improve outcomes have the potential to further improve outcomes among patients with ACSamong patients with ACS
