“First and foremost, both PCI and CABG are clinically reasonable for the treatment of these patients. We've maintained a class I recommendation for CABG. I think that was an easy decision. As for the IIa recommendation for PCI, there were a couple of reasons. Number one, the SYNTAX score or SYNTAX tertiles didn't seem to be a strong effect modifier in the lower two tertiles. It was really an arbitrary distinction between low and intermediate risk so we felt that the same recommendation should really apply to both.”
