Some of the patients who suffer from cerebral ischemia may at the same time have coronary insufficiency. For such cases, not only extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass but also cardiac revascularization is considered to be necessary. One-stage surgery of both carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has not infrequently been published. However, the combination of EC-IC bypass and CABG is rarely reported in the literature. The indication of EC-IC bypass and/or CABG for such patients above stated has been searched for. In fact, CABG runs the risk of aggravating cerebral ischemia and/or intracranial hemorrhage by inevitable hypotension, hypothermia and heparinization of a large amount, while EC-IC bypass may safely be carried out so long as cardiac conditions are carefully controlled during the operation. It is consequently presumed that the preliminary EC-IC bypass followed by CABG seems to be the method of choice for simultaneous carotid and coronary ischemia. Two cases underwent the staged revascularization, first for the brain and next for the heart, with a successful result are reported in the present paper.

D002339 Carotid Arteries Either of the two principal arteries on both sides of the neck that supply blood to the head and neck; each divides into two branches, the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery. Arteries, Carotid,Artery, Carotid,Carotid Artery
D002545 Brain Ischemia Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.

D002548 Cerebral Revascularization Microsurgical revascularization to improve intracranial circulation. It usually involves joining the extracranial circulation to the intracranial circulation but may include extracranial revascularization (e.g., subclavian-vertebral artery bypass, subclavian-external carotid artery bypass). It is performed by joining two arteries (direct anastomosis or use of graft) or by free autologous transplantation of highly vascularized tissue to the surface of the brain.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
