A series of 295 patients with combined extracranial and coronary revascularization procedures is analyzed. Operations were combined in patients with symptomatic or severe carotid lesions. Hospital mortality was 3.5%; hospital morbidity was mainly neurological with 5% reversible neurological deficits or strokes. The independent risk factors for hospital mortality and morbidity as well as for long-term survival and morbidity were statistically analyzed. The 10-year survival was 47% and predominantly determined by the cardiac 10-year survival (61%).
