A representative case of the CABG SS. Coronary segment-weighting derived from the Leaman score (A), and segment-weighting multiplication factors depending on the severity of the lesion (B). These were used to calculate points for deduction from the SS. C) The SS was 44.5 points (upper panel). A patent LIMA to LAD without obstructive disease (lower right panel) resulted in the deduction of 2.5×5 points (×5 segment-weighting due to occluded native coronary artery) from the SS. A patent SVG to RCA without obstructive disease (lower left panel) resulted in deduction of 1×5 points. Thus, the CABG SS was 44.5–(12.5+5)=27 points. An arrow indicates the occluded native coronary artery. CABG: coronary artery bypass grafting; LCA: left coronary artery; LIMA: left internal mammary artery; RCA: right coronary artery; SS: SYNTAX score; SVG: saphenous vein graft
