Introduction
In most revascularization studies, severe lesions were defined >70% stenosis and revascularization was generally performed to > 2.25 mm diameter epicardial arteries in these studies. However, Syntax score takes into account the > 50% stenosis and > 1.5 mm diameter artery. In our study, we aimed to compare Syntax scores that were obtained from > 50% lesions and > 1.5 mm diameter artery and 70% lesions and > 2 mm diameter artery for death.
Methods
In our study, 536 patients with unstable angina and non ST elevation MI and performed coronary angiography between May to November 2012. From all patients four different syntax score were calculated such as vessel diameter > 1.5 mm or > 2 mm, and the degree of stenosis > 50% or > 70%.
