Does the staging of combined coronary artery surgery and carotid endarterectomy affect early mortality and serious morbidity in patients with concomitant coronary and carotid artery disease?
In patients with concomitant coronary and carotid artery disease, the staging of combined surgery (single vs two-stage) did not significantly impact early mortality or serious morbidity, though performing coronary surgery first may offer a protective effect.
