Supports feasibility of simultaneous CEA-CABG in selected patients; leaves open comparative efficacy versus staged or hybrid strategies in RCTs.
What are the early and late rates of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke following simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with concomitant severe coronary and carotid artery disease?

Evagelopoulos et al. (2000) studied this question.
