Similar early mortality across strategies warrants individualized decisions; leaves open optimal sequencing pending randomized data in concomitant disease.
Does a single-stage surgical procedure compared to a two-stage procedure improve outcomes in patients with concomitant coronary and carotid artery disease?
In patients with concomitant coronary and carotid artery disease, surgical approach (single vs two-stage) should be individualized as outcomes are primarily driven by preoperative clinical status rather than the surgical strategy itself.
