N2 - To assess whether incomplete revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has an effect on long-term outcomes. During a heart team discussion to evaluate whether patients were eligible for randomization in the SYNTAX trial, both the cardiologist and surgeon agreed on which vessels needed revascularization. This statement was compared with the actual revascularization after treatment. Incomplete revascularization was defined as when a preoperatively identified vessel with a lesion was not revascularized. Outcomes were major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (MACCE), the composite safety endpoint o Incomplete revascularization was found in 43.3% (388/896) PCI and 36.8% (320/870) CABG patients. Patients with complete revascularization by PCI had lower rates of MACCE (66.5 versus 76.2%, P < 0.001), the composite safety endpoint (83.4 versus 87.9%, P = 0.05) and repeat revascularization (75.5 versus 83.9%, P < 0.001), but not death and MI. In the CABG group, no difference in outcomes was seen between incomplete and complete revascularization groups. Incomplete revascularization was identified Despite the hypothesis-generating nature of this data, this study demonstrates that incomplete revascularization is associated with adverse events during follow-up after PCI but not CABG.
