From February 1971 through December 1987, 95 patients underwent combined carotid endarterectomy and myocardial revascularization. Mortality and postoperative stroke rates were 4 percent and 2 percent, respectively, for the 16-year experience. From 1980 to 1987, when 89 percent of patients had their operation, mortality and stroke rates were 1 percent and 2 percent, respectively. Follow-up carotid duplex scan in 41 patients revealed that 25 percent had more than 50 percent restenosis. Only two in this group were symptomatic. We conclude that the combined approach to concomitant carotid and coronary artery atherosclerosis can be done safely. Continued study with noninvasive testing is important to document restenosis rates.
