Combined Surgical Approach to Carotid and Coronary Artery Disease
The aim of this study was to compare two different surgical approaches to patients with coexistent significant carotid and coronary artery obstruction. Patients were treated with combined operation of carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting (CEA/CABG). The first group of patients underwent the CABG procedure with the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on arrested heart and the second group without the CPB on a beating heart – off pump. Between May 15 1998, and October 9 2003, thirty-five consecutive patients underwent the combined procedure. In both groups there were no cases of transient or permanent perioperative neurological events. Overall, early mortality was 5.6%. The incidence of a perioperative myocardial infarction was 5.5%. In the follow-up period there were no cases of late stroke. According to the presented results in this study, it was found that the combined CEA and CABG is an equally safe and effective procedure performed with or without cardiopulmonary bypass for patients with a severe coexistent carotid and coronary artery disease.
