The SYNTAX Score Does Not Predict Risk of Adverse Events in Patients With Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome Who Undergo Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery.
We tested the ability of the SYNTAX score (SS) to predict 1-year adverse outcomes for patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) who undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. ⋯ The anatomical SS does not appear to be useful in risk stratifying patients with NSTE-ACS who undergo CABG. Clinical variables may better risk stratify patients with complex coronary artery disease considered for CABG.
