The coronary artery bypass graft SYNTAX Score: final five-year outcomes from the SYNTAX-LE MANS left main angiographic substudy

We recently reported the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) SYNTAX Score, an objective measure of anatomical complexity and revascularisation post coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery1. At four-year follow-up, a non-significant trend towards more adverse clinical outcomes, including all-cause death, was reported in the higher CABG SYNTAX group (≥22)1. The final five-year outcomes of the SYNTAX trial have recently been reported2,3. We report the five-year outcomes of the CABG SYNTAX Score from the CABG arm of the SYNTAX-LE MANS left main angiographic substudy.

At five years, significantly greater all-cause death was seen in the high CABG SYNTAX Score group (≥22) compared ...
