Abstract We found out a positive correlation between SYNTAX score and HBA1c which means that patients with uncontrolled D.M, had a more complex CAD. Also, we concluded that there was a negative correlation between SYNTAX score and ABI of the studied populations. In addition, there was a significant association between the four categories of TASC II score and ABI categories of the studied populations. Finally, we revealed a significant association between coronary and peripheral artery disease complexity using SYNTAX score and Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus II classifications. Patients with complex CAD had complex PAD. This finding suggested that PAD and CAD are different clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis and systemic vascular involvement is present in patients with complex lesions. |
