Simultaneous hybrid revascularization by carotid stenting and coronary artery bypass grafting

Ann Thorac Surg. 2006 May;81(5):1883-5. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2005.04.086.

Abstract

Surgical treatment of simultaneous coronary and carotid disease is still controversial, because of the high risk of morbidity and mortality after combined or staged carotid artery endoarterectomy and the coronary artery bypass grafting approach. We report the first 10 patients with concomitant coronary and carotid disease successfully treated with an alternative strategy consisting of simultaneous hybrid revascularization by carotid artery stenting and coronary artery bypass grafting.
