Key result
SYNTAX score >22 is linked to higher 1-year risk of major events post-TAVI vs lower scores.
Why the study?
Does a high SYNTAX score (>22) increase the risk of cardiovascular death, stroke, or MI at 1 year in patients undergoing TAVI compared to those with no CAD or low SYNTAX score?
Does a high SYNTAX score (>22) increase the risk of cardiovascular death, stroke, or MI at 1 year in patients undergoing TAVI compared to those with no CAD or low SYNTAX score?
In patients undergoing TAVI, a high SYNTAX score (>22) is associated with less complete revascularization and a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events at 1 year.
High SYNTAX score signals elevated post-TAVI risk; hypothesis-generating for revascularization impact in prospective studies.
Severity of CAD appears to be associated with impaired clinical outcomes at 1 year after TAVI. Patients with SS > 22 receive less complete revascularization and have a higher risk of cardiovascular death, stroke, or MI than patients without CAD or low SS.

Stefanini et al. (2014) studied this question. Patients with SYNTAX score > 22 have a higher risk of cardiovascular death, stroke, or MI at 1 year after TAVI compared to those without CAD or with low SYNTAX score.
