  1. The Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery:The SYNTAX StudyPrimary Endpoint Results at One Year in the Randomized Cohort Patrick W. Serruys MD PhD Friedrich W. Mohr MD PhD On behalf of the SYNTAX investigators Conflicts of Interest: None

  2. Background: I • During the present decade, major developments in CABG (e.g. off-pump technique, less invasive approach, increased arterial revascularization and optimal perioperative care). • In PCI (e.g. improved technique, stent design, guide wires, anti-platelet therapy, and drug-eluting stents) have made it important to reassess the respective values of the two revascularization techniques in an all-comers population as seen by the surgeon and the interventional cardiologist in their daily practice.

  3. Background: II • At the time of the trial design (in 2003-2004), a retrospective website survey of 104 medical centers over a period of 3 months showed that 12,072 patients (1/3 LM, 2/3 3VD) were revascularized by surgery (2/3) or by PCI (1/3). • The SYNTAX randomized trial is an attempt to provide an evidence-base to determine whether this approach, which is already currently practiced, is valid. Kappetein et al, Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 2006;29:486-491

  4. SYNTAX: Intended All-Comers Design with Nested Registries • Intended all-comers study design instead of a highly selected patient population • Consensus physician agreement (surgeon & cardiologist) instead of inclusion & exclusion criteria • And, nested registries for CABG only and PCI only to define patient characteristics and outcomes of these two unique treatment options

  5. SYNTAX Eligible Patients De novo disease • Limited Exclusion Criteria • Previous interventions • Acute MI with CPK>2x • Concomitant cardiac surgery Left Main Disease (isolated, +1, +2 or +3 vessels) 3 Vessel Disease (revasc all 3 vascular territories)

  6. Patient Profiling Local Heart team (surgeon & interventional cardiologist) assessed each patient in regards to : Patient’s operative risk (EuroSCORE & Parsonnet score) Coronary lesion complexity (Newly developed SYNTAX score) Goal: SYNTAX score to provide guidance on optimal revascularization strategies for patients with high risk lesions No. & Location of lesion Dominance Left Main SYNTAX SCORE Calcification Thrombus 3 Vessel Bifurcation CTO Tortuosity • BARI classification of coronary segments • Leaman score, Circ 1981;63:285-299 • Lesions classification ACC/AHA , Circ 2001;103:3019-3041 • Bifurcation classification, CCI 2000;49:274-283 • CTO classification, J Am Coll Cardiol 1997;30:649-656 Sianos et al, EuroIntervention 2005;1:219-227 Valgimigli et al, Am J Cardiol 2007;99:1072-1081 Serruys et al, EuroIntervention 2007;3:450-459

  33. Conclusions: In the randomized SYNTAX cohort, there were comparable overall safety outcomes (Death, CVA, MI,) in CABG and PCI patients at 12 months (7.7 vs. 7.6 %). There was a significantly higher rate of revascularization in the PCI group (13.7 vs. 5.9 %), and a significantly higher rate of CVA in the CABG group (2.2 vs. 0.6 %). Overall MACCE in the PCI group was higher (17.8 vs.12.1 %) due to an excess of redo revascularization compared with CABG. Per protocol rates of symptomatic graft occlusion and stent thrombosis were similar. The SYNTAX score will help stratify patients for the appropriate revascularization option.
