Successful hybrid coronary artery revascularisation in a patient with severe cerebrovascular disease: a new treatment option to minimise the risk of stroke

BMJ Case Rep. 2017 May 27:2017:bcr2016218603. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2016-218603.

Abstract

Here we present a case involving a patient with severe distal left main coronary artery stenosis with extensive coexisting extracranial cerebrovascular disease where hybrid coronary artery revascularisation was successfully performed. This illustrates the potential for hybrid revascularisation in those patients with an inherit risk of stroke.

Keywords: Cardiovascular medicine; Interventional cardiology; Ischaemic heart disease.
