Multicenter Study Comparative StudyValidation of SYNTAX (Synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score for prediction of outcomes after unprotected left main coronary revascularization.
This study aimed to validate the SYNTAX (Synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score representing angiographic complexity after unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) revascularization. ⋯ The angiographic SYNTAX score seems to play a partial role in predicting long-term adverse events after PCI for ULMCA stenosis. A complementary consideration of patient's clinical risk might improve the predictive ability of risk score.
