RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the degree of incomplete revascularization in patients with multiarterial coronary artery disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) using the Syntax revascularization index (SRI) and its relationship to major cardiovascular events during follow-up. Materials and Methods: Observational, retrospective study with 4-year follow-up of patients with multiarterial coronary artery disease who underwent surgical or percutaneous coronary revascularization, in whom the baseline Syntax score (SSb) and the residual Syntax score (SSr) were calculated. The Syntax Revascularization Index (SRI) was determined with the following formula: SRI = (1- [SSr/SSb]) x 100, and major cardiovascular events at 4-year follow-up were compared. Results: Two hundred patients (100 in each group) were evaluated. Mean SSr in group 1 was 83.2%, and in group 2, 79.0% (p=0.88). Mean complete revascularization was 41% in the first group and 35% in the second. A cutoff point of ≤90% of IRS had the best accuracy for predicting major cardiovascular events (area under the curve of 0.60; 95% CI: 0.49-0.71, p<0.05). In multivariate analysis IRS was an independent predictor of major cardiovascular events (HR 2.6; 95%CI: 1.32-3.22, p= 0.043). Conclusions: The Syntax Revascularization Index may be useful for measuring the degree of revascularization in patients with multiarterial coronary artery disease treated percutaneously or surgically. An SRI ³90% may be an acceptable target for revascularization.
RESUMO
Chronic coronary syndrome (SCC) previously known as stable coronary disease, is the main cause of mortality in the world, and it is one of the most important in Peru. This pathology has a dynamic nature that results in different clinical scenarios that can be modified through various therapeutic options, one of which is coronary interventional treatment, mainly in patients with high ischemic risk defined as ischemia greater than 10% of the entire left ventricular mass. For this reason, we have analyzed the most relevant and current information available, concluding that the treatment of high ischemic risk´s chronic coronary syndrome, after an individual evaluation, would correspond to an invasive management from the beginning, although it would not impact on mortality or cardiovascular events, it would contribute to improve quality of life; also we should consider the incomplete availability of all the therapeutic options for the symptomatic management of this disease, the limited access to the management of acute cardiovascular events in our country, as well as the risk of adverse effects and drug interactions.

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 76 años con diagnóstico tardío de enfermedad de Paget ósea craneal asociado a hidrocefalia obstructiva, a quien se le practicó una derivación ventrículo-peritoneal con una evolución postoperatoria inesperada debido al desarrollo de una tuberculosis miliar con compromiso meningoencefálico.
We present a 76 year-old man with a delayed diagnosis of Pagets disease of the skull associated with obstructive hydrocephalus that underwent a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt and with an unexpected postsurgical evolution due to the development of military tuberculosis with meningoencephalitis.
