Fig 2 Three-year outcomes for diabetic patients and nondiabetic patients according to anatomic lesion complexity, as measured by the SYNTAX score. (A, D) Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), (B, E) composite death/cerebrovascular accident (CVA)/myocardial infarction (MI), and (C, F) revascularization in (A–C) patients with medically treated diabetes and (D–F) without medically treated diabetes. Rates are separated by SYNTAX Scores, indicating low (≤22), medium (23 to 32), and high (≥33) anatomic lesion complexity. (CABG = coronary artery bypass graft surgery [open bars]; PES = paclitaxel-eluting stent [solid bars].)
