“…The Syntax Score (SS) is an established tool for assessing the complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and/or left main coronary artery lesions [ 29 , 30 ]. The SS is primarily based on the location, type, and number of coronary artery lesions, providing robust theoretical support for the choice between PCI and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) [ 31 , 32 ].…”

“…LM lesions used to be considered off-limits to PCI, but with the increasing development of interventional techniques, PCI has become the main treatment for LM lesions [21,22] .The EXCEL study included 1,905 patients with LM lesions, randomized to PCI and CABG, showed an increased incidence of the 5-year composite endpoint in current smokers compared with nonsmokers, with no increased risk seen in exsmokers [23] . The SYNTAX study was also performed in patients with more complex coronary artery disease and dynamically observed the smoking status of patients during the follow-up period, and similar conclusions were yield with further analysis [24] .…”

“…As clinical and angiographic characteristics of patients undergoing PCI with DES have evolved substantially over the last 20 years, current trends indicate that approximately 30% of all PCI procedures may be considered complex according to lesion or anatomic factors (3). Owing to technical and methodological advancements, patients who were previously treated medically or surgically, are now often offered PCI with an emphasis on unprotected left main disease (ULMD) (4)(5)(6) and CTO (7). In order to successfully predict and identify patients who are prone to increased residual ischemic risk, these intricate procedures require interventional cardiologists to use both clinical (8) and angiographic (9) risk scores, and implement treatment accordingly.…”
