Comparison
Recommendation
0
0 = PCI favored, 1 = Either reasonable, 2 = CABG preferred, 3 = CABG strongly recommended.
PCI Suitability Score
69/100
Higher = more suitable for PCI. Based on anatomical complexity.
PCI 5-Year MACCE
27%
Estimated 5-year major adverse cardiac/cerebrovascular event rate with PCI.
CABG 5-Year MACCE
27%
Estimated 5-year MACCE rate with CABG.
PCI Repeat Revasc Rate
14%
Estimated repeat revascularization rate with PCI.
CABG Repeat Revasc Rate

Results Overview
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter number of significant lesions, left main involvement (0/1), and bifurcation lesion count.
- Set chronic total occlusion count, calcification level, diffuse disease flag, and tortuosity level.
- Review Estimated SYNTAX Score, Complexity Category, PCI Suitability Score, and Recommendation.
- SYNTAX ≤ 22 favors PCI; > 32 strongly favors CABG per ESC/ACC guidelines.
