Syntax Score 2020

The SYNTAX Score 2020 guides the individual treatment decision making between PCI and CABG for patients having three-vessel disease with/without left main on the basis of 5 years MACCE and 10 years all-cause mortality.

Features

The SYNTAX Score 2020 and its derived variants intend to provide therapeutic advice or guidance as to appropriate treatment strategies for individual patients. Their major features are described below.

Anatomic SYNTAX Score

Anatomy (ICA), population strata outcome, Population: PCI and CABG.Predicts MACCE prognosis from 1 to 5 years in the SYNTAX trial (PCI vs. CABG in three-vessel disease and left main)1-3 and mortality up to 10 years in the SYNTAXES study.

LOGISTIC CLINICAL SYNTAX SCORE (2020)

Anatomy (ICA) and comorbidity, Population: individualized outcome for “all-comers” PCI Predicts all-cause mortality at 2 years in “all-comers” PCI.


SYNTAX SCORE III (PCI & CABG decision-making)

Anatomy (CTA), comorbidity, and functionality (FFRCT), Population: PCI and CABG Treatment decision making between PCI and CABG in 3VD & LM based solely on multi-slice CT scan with FFRCT in the SYNTAX III REVOLUTION trial.

FUNCTIONAL SYNTAX SCORE

Anatomy (ICA and CTA) and functionality (iFR, FFR, FFRCT, QFR), Population: PCI and CABG Treatment decision making based on anatomy and functionality.


SYNTAX SCORE II (PCI & CABG decision-making)

Anatomy (ICA) and comorbidity, Population: PCI versus CABG. Predicts 4-year all-cause mortality in the SYNTAX trial.
* The SYNTAX Score II will be superseded by SYNTAX Score 2020.

SYNTAX SCORE III (planning & execution CABG)

Anatomy (CTA), comorbidity, and functionality (FFRCT), Population: CABG Planning and execution of surgery in 3VD & LM applying SYNTAX Score III erived solely on CTA scan with FFRCT (the FASTTRACK CABG trial, First in men).

 

SYNTAX Score 2020


Anatomy (ICA) and comorbidity, Population: PCI versus CABG Predict 5-year MACE and 10-year all-cause mortality based on cross validation in the SYNTAX trial and on external validation in the FREEDOM, BEST, and PRECOMBAT trials

 

**CABG: coronary artery bypass grafting; CTA: computed tomography angiography; FFR: fractional flow reserve; FFRCT: fractional flow reserve derived from CTA; ICA: invasive coronary angiography; iFR: instantaneous wave-free ratio; QFR: quantitative Flow Ratio; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; 3VD: three-vessel disease; LM: left main:.

Rationale

“Prior to the start of the SYNTAX trial the trial designers’ concern was the accurate, semi-quantitative assessment—by surgeons and interventional cardiologists—of the extent and anatomical complexity of the coronary artery disease (CAD) before inclusion of patients in the landmark SYNTAX trial. Originally, the anatomical SYNTAX Score was simply a scoring tool to force the physicians to meticulously inspect and assess the anatomical complexity of the coronary anatomy visualized either by invasive cine angiography (ICA) or more recently by non-invasive computerized tomographic angiography (CTA).

To create the anatomic SYNTAX tool, numerous existing scores stemming from the literature were combined: the Leaman score, ACC/AHA lesions classification system, a chronic total occlusion score, the Medina score, a thrombus score, a calcification score and so on. This amalgam of scores were then organized in a complex hierarchical algorithm.1
