Abstract

•Circulating total VEGF-A levels were higher in patients who needed revascularization than in patients without significant coronary artery stenosis.•Levels of total VEGF-A were higher in patients with high Syntax Score (SS) than in those with low SS.•The ratio of VEGF-A165b to total VEGF-A was lower in patients with a high SS.
