The Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score has significantly improved angiographic risk stratification and has broadened perspectives regarding risk estimation.

Abstract

The Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score (SS) hassignificantly improved angiographic risk stratification. By analyzing angiographic variables, this score characterizescoronary artery disease qualitatively and quantitatively. To date, combining this score with other non-angiographic clinicalscores has broadened perspectives regarding risk estimation, and future research on this topic appears promising.
