Which procedure is best?
Angioplasty of the culprit lesion has been proven to be of value:
1. ST elevation MI compared to thrombolytics Reduces mortality and strokes (and
likely reinfarction)
2. In high risk non-ST elevation ACS
Reduces new MI and likely deaths and avoids repeated rehospitalization for
UA.
In both acute conditions, appropriate and timely PCI is an important advance.
COURAGE
Showed that treating patients with PCI at the outset had no more impact on death or myocardial infarction (MI) than treating patients with an initial strategy of optimal medical therapy
Led to polarization of cardiovascular professionals. "Some people have pitted this as the mother of all battles between PCI and others - that is absolutely 100% incorrect
Remember that the COURAGE trial dealt with only a small subset — stable angina — of all the patients who are treated with revascularization.

Main results from SYNTAX randomized trial
Dr Friedrich W Mohr (University of Leipzig, Germany), pointed out, almost one-third of patients considered for randomization in SYNTAX were deemed ineligible for PCI, primarily due to complex disease or anatomy

SYNTAX
• MACCE was significantly lower in CABG arm compared with PCI (12.4% vs. 17.8%, p = 0.002), especially for diabetics (p = 0.0025)
• Significant ↓ in the need for repeat revascularization in CABG arm (p < 0.001)
• Death and MI were similar; CVA ↑ with CABG (p = 0.003)
Trial design: Patients with severe three-vessel or LM disease were randomized to CABG or DES-PCI with paclitaxel-eluting stents. Clinical outcomes were compared at 12 months.
Results
Conclusions• CABG was associated with fewer repeat
revascularizations compared with DES-PCI in patients with LM or three-vessel disease, but a higher rate of stroke
• No difference in death, MI, or thrombosis
• Diabetics are especially more likely to benefit with CABG compared with DES-PCI

• "If anything, the number of cardiac bypasses being done is decreasing and the number of PCI procedures is decreasing. So this is not motivated in any way by the concern that these procedures are out of control, it's just a matter of making sure that indications for these procedures are appropriate."
Cont’d
• But all we were trying to do in all of this . . . was to come up with something that would help guide a physician to make the best decisions, to provide the right care for the right patients, at the right time
• a "useful supplement" to professional societies guidelines
Method
Combines 1. Evidence-based medicine
2. Guidelines
3. Practice experience
By engaging a technical panel in a modified Delphi exercise as described by RAND.
Study Design
• 180 clinical scenarios mimicking practice• Clinical scenario
• Symptoms severity
• Extent of Medical Therapy
• Risk level (Non-invasive)
• Coronary Anatomy
• 17 member panel – 4 Interventional Cardiologist, 4 Cardiac Surgeons, 8 non-invasive cardiologists, 1 medical officer from a health plan
• Only considered Revascularization and did not specify CABG / PCI
• Only in a small subset was the type specified
• Scores (7-9) for appropriate and 1-3 for inappropriate

Acute Coronary Syndromes*
High-Risk Features for Short-Term Risk of Death or Nonfatal MI for UA/NSTEMI
At least 1 of the following:
• History—Accelerating tempo of ischemic symptoms in preceding 48 hours• Character of pain—Prolonged ongoing (greater than 20 minutes) rest pain• Clinical findings
– Pulmonary edema, most likely due to ischemia– New or worsening mitral regurgitation murmur– S3 or new/worsening rales– Hypotension, bradycardia, tachycardia– Age greater than 75 years
• Electrocardiogram– Angina at rest with transient ST-segment changes greater than 0.5 mm– Bundle-branch block, new or presumed new– Sustained ventricular tachycardia
Clinical scenarios appropriate for coronary revascularization
• ST-segment elevation MI within 12 hours of symptom onset
• Left main stenosis
• Any patient with 2- or 3-vessel coronary artery disease and at least moderate-risk findings on stress testing; receiving maximal anti-ischemic medical therapy
• 1-vessel coronary artery disease involving the proximal LAD; low-risk findings on stress testing; slight impairment of activity because of angina; receiving maximal anti-ischemic medical therapy
• 1- or 2-vessel coronary artery disease without involvement of the proximal LAD; low-risk findings on stress testing; marked limitation of activity because of angina; receiving maximal anti-ischemic medical therapy
• 1- or 2-vessel coronary artery disease without involvement of the proximal LAD; high-risk findings on stress testing; slight limitation of activity because of angina; not receiving anti-ischemic medical therapy
Clinical scenarios in which the benefit vs risk for coronary revascularization is uncertain
• 1-vessel coronary artery disease involving the proximal LAD; intermediate-risk findings on stress testing; slight or no impairment of activity because of angina; not receiving anti-ischemic medical therapy
• 2-vessel coronary artery disease involving the proximal LAD; intermediate-risk findings on stress testing; asymptomatic (uncertain regardless of use of anti-ischemic medical therapy)
• In patients with advanced coronary artery disease, PCI was considered inappropriate in patients with left main stenosis. Coronary artery bypass grafting is preferred for these patients as well as patients with 3-vessel coronary artery disease.
Clinical scenarios not appropriate for coronary revascularization
• ST-segment elevation MI for 12 hours or more after symptom onset; patient asymptomatic
• ST-segment elevation MI with presumed successful treatment with fibrinolysis; patient asymptomatic with normal left ventricular ejection fraction
• 1- or 2-vessel coronary artery disease without involvement of the proximal LAD; low-risk findings on stress testing; asymptomatic; not receiving anti-ischemic medical therapy
• Chronic total occlusion of 1 major epicardial artery without other coronary stenosis; low-risk findings on stress testing; asymptomatic; not receiving anti-ischemic medical therapy
