The SYNTAX Trial


Provides evidence-based medicine comparing modern CABG vs PCI in patients with 3VD and/or LM disease Patient and lesion complexity not included in prior studies Determines which patients are amendable for both revascularization methods or eligible for only 1 treatment approach (CABG or PCI) Evaluates a new tool (SYNTAX Score) to effectively characterize coronary vasculature and predict outcomes

The Ultimate Goal of the SYNTAX Score


Create a prospective angiographic tool to grade complexity of coronary disease
A semi-quantitative, visual score will help interventional cardiologists and surgeons be aware of the anatomical complexity to anticipate procedural difficulties and eventually predict outcomes

Obtain evidence-based guidelines for selecting revascularization technique (surgery or PCI) The SYNTAX Score will be retroactively weighted based on MACCE at 1 and 5 years to optimize its prognostic value

SYNTAX Score Methodology


Prior to treatment, at the local Heart Team conference (surgeon and interventional cardiologist), the SYNTAX Score was calculated for all significant lesions in vessels 1.5mm In addition, the SYNTAX Score was calculated from the diagnostic angiogram by a core laboratory (Cardialysis) The core laboratory also compared inter-observer variability

Derivation of the SYNTAX Score


Incorporates information collected through: Coronary tree segments based on the classification proposed by the AHA and modified for the ARTS study (Circulation 1975; 51:31-3 & Semin Interv Cardiol 1999;
4:209-19)

Modified Leaman score (Circulation 1981; 63: 285-292) ACC/AHA lesions classification system (Circulation
2001;103:3019-3041)

Cardiol,1997;30:649-56)

Combination of the Duke and ICPS classification of Bifurcation (Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2000; 49:274-283) Total occlusion classification (J Am Coll Consultation of experts

SYNTAX Score: How It Works (I)


The SYNTAX score is lesion based
A separate number calculated per lesion Summed to generate the total SYNTAX score

Questions 1-3: determine dominance, total # of


lesions and vessel segments/lesion characteristics; are repeated for each lesion The SYNTAX score is calculated after answering a set of sequential, interactive self-guided questions

Questions 4-12: detail adverse lesion

Summary
The SYNTAX score is a new, innovative tool to describe the complexity of vasculature The raw SYNTAX score is a good predictor of MACCE
PCI patients with lower raw SYNTAX scores have similar 12-month MACCE rates to CABG patients 12-month MACCE rates in CABG patients are comparable between patients with high or low SYNTAX scores Increasing SYNTAX scores (and lesion complexity) are related to increased adverse outcomes in PCI, whereas outcomes of CABG are independent of SYNTAX score
SYNTAX Score Serruys TCT 14 October 2008 Slide 32

Conclusions
The SYNTAX score will be retroactively weighted based on clinical outcomes in SYNTAX and likely revised to optimize its prognostic value
The weighted score will be available for use in stratifying individual patients Once validated and standardized, the SYNTAX Score will become available online

The SYNTAX web tool will be available at www.syntaxscore.com


This site will include an online tutorial, a scoring system and the anticipated patient outcome according to the estimated score based on the SYNTAX trial data
