- Background The residual Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) Score is an objective measure of the degree and complexity of residual stenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods and Results In the randomized PCI cohort of the SYNTAX Trial (n=903), the baseline and residual SYNTAX Scores were calculated. Subjects with a residual SYNTAX Score of 0 were defined as having undergone complete revascularization (CR), and a residual SYNTAX Score >0 as incomplete revascularization (ICR). Five-year clinical outcomes were stratified by CR and ICR (tertiles of the residual SYNTAX Score: >0-4, >4-8, and >8). In the PCI cohort, the mean baseline and residual SYNTAX Scores were 28.4 +/- 11.5 and 4.5 +/- 6.9, respectively. The mean SYNTAX Score (representative of the burden of disease removed by PCI) was 23.8 +/- 10.9. The residual SYNTAX Score was distributed as follows: CR, 0 (n=386, 42.7%); ICR, >0 to 4 (n=184, 20.4%), >4 to 8 (n=167, 18.5%), >8 (n=153, 16.9%). A progressively higher residual SYNTAX Score was shown to be a surrogate marker of increasing clinical comorbidity and anatomic complexity. Subjects with CR or residual SYNTAX Scores 8 had comparable 5-year mortality (CR, 8.5%; residual SYNTAX Score >0-4, 8.7%; >4-8, 11.4%; P=0.60). A residual SYNTAX Score >8 was associated with 35.3% all-cause mortality at 5-years (P<0.001). Stratified analyses in the predefined medical treated diabetic and left main subgroups yielded similar results. Conclusions The residual SYNTAX Score was shown to be a powerful indicator of 5-year mortality in the SYNTAX Trial. The residual SYNTAX Score may aid in determining a reasonable level of revascularization.

- Objectives The aim of this study was to report the short-term and long-term clinical impact of stent thrombosis (ST) and graft occlusion (GO) in the final 5-year outcomes of the SYNTAX (SYNergy Between PCI With TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) trial.Background The clinical effect of newer-generation drug-eluting stents and operative factors in complex coronary artery disease is uncertain.Methods The incidence of 5-year ST and GO, and their association with clinical outcomes, were analyzed in the randomized percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass graft cohorts. ST and GO were defined by the SYNTAX protocol definitions (clinical presentation with acute coronary syndrome and angiographic/pathological evidence), the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) definition for ST, and the newly devised "ARC-like" definition of GO (i.e., definite, probable, or possible GO).Results At 5 years, 871 of 903 patients (96.5%) in the percutaneous coronary intervention cohort and 805 of 897 patients (89.7%) in the coronary artery bypass graft cohort completed follow-up. As compared with other vessel locations, protocol ST (72 lesions) occurred more frequently in the left main (14 of 72; 19%) and proximal coronary vasculature (37 of 72; 51%) and protocol GO (41 lesions) with grafts anastomosed to the distal right coronary artery (17 of 41; 42%). The incidence of 5-year ARC definite ST and ARC-like definite GO did not significantly differ (7%[n = 48] vs. 6% [n = 32], log rank p = 0.34); landmark analyses indicated significantly increased ARC definite ST within 30 days (3% [n = 19] vs. 1% [n = 6], log rank p = 0.033) but not >30 days to 5 years (4.2% [n = 29] vs. 4.5% [n = 26], log rank p = 0.78). At presentation, ARC definite ST (n = 48) and ARC-like definite GO (n = 32) were adjudicated to be linked to 4 (8%) and 0 deaths, respectively. At 5 years, ARC definite ST (n = 48) and ARC definite/probable ST (n = 75) were associated with 17 (17 of 48, 35.4%; median days to death: 0 days; interquartile range: 0 to 16 days; maximum: 321 days) and 31 (31 of 75, 41.3%; median: 0 days; interquartile range: 0 to 9 days; maximum: 721 days) cardiac deaths, respectively. At 5 years, ARC-like definite GO (n = 32) and ARC-like definite/probable GO (n = 53) were associated with 0 and 12 (12 of 52, 23.1%; median: 0 days; interquartile range: 0 to 14 days; maximum: 257 days) cardiac deaths, respectively.Conclusions Although the incidence of ST and GO was similar at 5 years, the clinical impact of ST appeared greater, with a negative impact on short-term to long-term mortality.

- OBJECTIVES:The study sought to evaluate the clinical impact of angiographic complete (CR) and incomplete (ICR) revascularization and its association with the presence of total occlusions (TO), after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in the "all-comers" SYNTAX (Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) trial.BACKGROUND:In patients with complex coronary artery disease undergoing PCI or CABG, the long-term prognostic implications of CR versus ICR is unsettled.METHODS:In this post hoc study, consisting of randomized (n = 1,800) and nested PCI (n = 198) and CABG (n = 649) registries, 4-year clinical outcomes were compared in groups, with and without angiographic CR, in the PCI and CABG arms. Clinical outcomes were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier estimates, log-rank comparisons, and Cox regression analyses. Multivariate predictors of ICR were determined. Similar analyses were undertaken in the TO and non-TO treated groups of both study arms.RESULTS:Angiographic CR was achieved in 52.8% of the PCI arm and 66.9% of the CABG arm. Within the PCI and CABG arms, ICR (compared with CR) seemed to be a surrogate marker of a greater burden of anatomical coronary complexity and clinical comorbidity and was associated with significantly higher frequencies of 4-year mortality, all-cause revascularization, stent thrombosis (PCI arm), and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. The presence of a TO was the strongest independent predictor of ICR after PCI (hazard ratio: 2.70, 95% confidence interval: 1.98 to 3.67, p < 0.001). Eight hundred and forty patients (PCI: 26.3%, CABG: 36.4%, p < 0.001) were identified to have 1,007 TOs, with 68.1% of TOs located in the proximal-mid coronary vasculature. The findings associating ICR (compared with CR) with higher frequencies of 4-year mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events remained consistent in the TO-treated groups in the PCI and CABG arms.CONCLUSIONS:Within the PCI and CABG arms of the all-comers SYNTAX trial, angiographically determined ICR has a detrimental impact on long-term clinical outcomes, including mortality. This effect remained consistent in patients with and without TOs.
