The introduction of the SYNTAX (Synergy Between PCI With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery)
score has prompted a renewed interest for angiographic risk stratification in patients …

Background: Should the SYNTAX score be integrated in Interventional Cardiology? Should
it really be considered as a vital decision-making tool in percutaneous coronary intervention …

Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) involving drug-eluting stents is
increasingly used to treat complex coronary artery disease, although coronary-artery bypass …

Background In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease who are undergoing
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary angiography is the standard method for …

Background—The prospective, multinational, randomized Synergy Between Percutaneous
Coronary Intervention With TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) trial was designed to …

Abstract Aims: The SYNTAX™ score has been designed to better anticipate the risks of
percutaneous or surgical revascularisation, taking into account the functional impact of the …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to quantify the extent and complexity of residual
coronary stenoses following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to evaluate its …

Aims Long-term randomized comparisons of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to
coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in left main coronary (LM) disease and/or three …

Objectives: We sought to investigate the predictive value of the SYNTAX (Synergy Between
PCI With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score (SS) for risk assessment of 1-year clinical …

Background—Presently, no effective risk model exists to predict long-term mortality or other
major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in those patients …
