Does simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting have acceptable perioperative mortality and stroke risk in patients with hemodynamically significant carotid artery lesions?
Simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting can be performed with acceptable mortality (2.4%) and a low risk of permanent neurological deficits (1%).
