Indications for myocardial revascularization modality of choice (surgical versus interventional) (according to [44])
| Coronary anatomy | CABG | PCI |
|---|---|---|
| 1VD or 2VD – non-proximal LAD | IIbC | IC |
| 1VD or 2VD – proximal LAD | IA | IIa B |
| 3VD simple lesions, full functional revascularization achievable with PCI, SYNTAX score ≤22 | IA | IIa B |
| 3VD complex lesions, incomplete revascularization achievable with PCI, SYNTAX score > 22 | IA | III A |
| Left main (isolated or 1VD, ostium/shaft) | IA | IIa B |
| Left main (isolated or 1VD, distal bifurcation) | IA | IIb B |
| Left main + 2VD or 3VD, SYNTAX score ≤ 32 | IA | IIb B |
| Left main + 2VD or 3VD, SYNTAX score ≥33 | IA | III B |
