Combined coronary artery bypass and carotid endarterectomy provides good long-term survival (80% at 5 years) with low rates of late stroke and cardiac events.
Daniel Char (2002) conducted a cohort in Combined coronary and carotid artery disease (n=154). Combined coronary artery bypass and carotid endarterectomy (CAB/CEA) was evaluated on 5-year survival probability. Combined coronary artery bypass and carotid endarterectomy resulted in a 5-year survival probability of 80%, with 98% freedom from late stroke and 82% freedom from late cardiac events.
