Notes:

^aMedian SYNTAX score in the population with CAD =12 (range: 5.25–18.75)

^bhighest tertile of SYNTAX score in Acute Catheterization and Urgent Intervention Triage Strategy (ACUITY) trial

^chighest tertile of SYNTAX score in Limus Eluted from A Durable versus ERodable Stent coating (LEADERS) trial

^dhighest tertile of SYNTAX score in RESOLUTE trial

^ehighest tertile of SYNTAX score in Syntax Trial, including only patients with multivessel disease. The figures for Median number of lesions per patient and SYNTAX score are expressed as median and interquartile range.
