title: [Presence of extracranial cerebral arterial lesions in patients undergoing open heart surgery: a planned approach to a single stage operation (author's transl)].
abstract: The combined approach of extracranial arterial lesions in patients undergoing open heart surgery decreases the high cardiac and neurological morbidity and mortality presented by patients operated sequentially. Besides the anatomically sound simultaneous approach of arch lesions and heart surgery, both to be operated by median sternotomy, the authors present their criteria used in the selection of neurologically symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with carotid and vertebral disease to be operated simultaneously. Results in 17 personal cases are presented.
