Prognostic Value of Logistic Clinical Syntax Score in Coronary Bifurcation Lesions Treated with Double Stent Technique

Abstract

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the preprocedural logistic clinical SYNTAX score (Log CSS) and major cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with true bifurcation lesions who underwent revascularization with the double stent strategy. Patients and Methods: A total of 233 non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients who underwent revascularization with a double stent strategy were retrospectively included in the study. Anatomical SYNTAX score (SS) and log CSS were calculated. The patients were divided into two groups according to the cut-off value determined by ROC analysis. The prediction of two-year MACE with Log CSS was evaluated. Results: MACE developed in 33.9% of patients with high Log CSS and 8.5% of patients with low Log CSS (p
