[Carotid endarterectomy combined with myocardial revascularization: report of 27 patients].

Abstract:

:Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that may involve more than one territory. Myocardial infarction can occur after carotid endarterectomy and stroke is a well documented morbidity of coronary artery bypass grafting. To optimize results, we have performed concomitant carotid endarterectomy and myocardial revascularization in selected cases, with severe disease in both territories. During a 13-year period, 27 patients were submitted for this procedure, 21 (77.8%) were male and the average age was 67.6 years (range 59-81). All patients had high-grade internal carotid artery stenosis, five (18.5%) were symptomatic. Coronary artery disease symptoms were: unstable angina in 12 patients (44.4%) and effort angina in 15 (55.6%). Two patients (7.4%) required reintervention for postoperative bleeding. Two cases (7.4%) had transient renal dysfunction. One patient, with multiple organ failure, died on the 16th postoperative day (3.7%). Follow up was obtained in 26 patients (96.3%). Survival at 5 years was 80.6%, 95.7% of those patients were free of any neurologic symptom. Combined carotid and coronary surgery is a safe treatment option for atherosclerosis of multiple territories in selected patients; long term benefits are also obtained.
