Indication for coronary bypass graft surgery vs. percutaneous coronary intervention in the stable angina patients with lesions suitable for both procedures.
| LMCA LESİON | Favours CABG | Favours PCI |
|---|---|---|
| ⁎Left main with SYNTAX score ⩽22 | 1 (Level of evidence – B) | 1 Level of evidence – B) |
| ⁎Left main with SYNTAX score 23–32 | 1 (Level of evidence – B) | 2a (Level of evidence – B) |
| ⁎Left main with SYNTAX score >32 | 1 (Level of evidence – B) | 3 (Level of evidence – B) |
