Coronary atherosclerotic burden assessed by SYNTAX scores and outcomes in surgical, percutaneous or medical strategies: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Coronary atherosclerotic burden and SYNTAX Score (SS) are predictors of cardiovascular events.

Objectives

To investigate the value of SYNTAX scores (SS, SYNTAX Score II (SSII) and residual SYNTAX Score (rSS)) for predicting cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Single tertiary centre.

Participants

Medicine, Angioplasty or Surgery Study database patients with stable multivessel CAD and preserved ejection fraction.

Interventions

Patients with CAD undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or medical treatment (MT) alone from January 2002 to December 2015.

Primary and secondary outcomes

Primary: 5-year all-cause
