SYNTAX Study Objectives


              The SYNTAX randomized trial is an attempt to provide an
              evidence base to determine the most appropriate treatment
              option for patients in a ‘real-world’ population seen by the
              surgeon and the interventional cardiologist in their daily
              practice
              In 2009, the ACC-AHA PCI Guidelines were updated and
              raised LM stenting from Class III to Class IIb (level B)1

              In 2010, ESC-EACTS Guidelines revised and upgraded LM
              (isolated or in conjuction with 1 vessel disease) stenting from
              Class IIb (level C) to IIa (level B)2

Summary
      Left Main Subset

          At 3 years, overall MACCE in the PCI group was
          comparable with CABG (22.3% CABG vs 26.8% PCI)
          Similar overall safety outcomes (Death/CVA/MI)
          between CABG and PCI at 3 years (14.3% CABG vs
          13.0% PCI)
          There was a higher rate of revascularization in the
          PCI group (11.7% CABG vs 20.0% PCI), and a
          higher rate of CVA in the CABG group (4.0% CABG
          vs 1.2% PCI)
          PCI outcomes are excellent relative to CABG in LM
          isolated and LM+1VD

Conclusions
         For patients with left main disease
              Revascularization with PCI has comparable
              safety and efficacy outcomes to CABG
              PCI is therefore a reasonable treatment
              alternative in this patient population, in
              particular, when the SYNTAX Score is low (≤22)
              or intermediate (23-32)

    SYNTAX Study Objectives The SYNTAX randomized trial is an attempt to provide an evidence base to determine the most appropriate treatment option for patients in a ‘real-world’ population seen by the surgeon and the interventional cardiologist in their daily practice In 2009, the ACC-AHA PCI Guidelines were updated and raised LM stenting from Class III to Class IIb (level B)1 In 2010, ESC-EACTS Guidelines revised and upgraded LM (isolated or in conjuction with 1 vessel disease) stenting from Class IIb (level C) to IIa (level B)2 1Kushner et al.

    Summary Left Main Subset At 3 years, overall MACCE in the PCI group was comparable with CABG (22.3% CABG vs 26.8% PCI) Similar overall safety outcomes (Death/CVA/MI) between CABG and PCI at 3 years (14.3% CABG vs 13.0% PCI) There was a higher rate of revascularization in the PCI group (11.7% CABG vs 20.0% PCI), and a higher rate of CVA in the CABG group (4.0% CABG vs 1.2% PCI) PCI outcomes are excellent relative to CABG in LM isolated and LM+1VD TCT 2010 • Three-year Outcomes of the SYNTAX Trial: Left Main Subgroup • Serruys • Slide 21

    Conclusions For patients with left main disease Revascularization with PCI has comparable safety and efficacy outcomes to CABG PCI is therefore a reasonable treatment alternative in this patient population, in particular, when the SYNTAX Score is low (≤22) or intermediate (23-32) TCT 2010 • Three-year Outcomes of the SYNTAX Trial: Left Main Subgroup • Serruys • Slide 22
