Concomitant cerebral, brachiocephalic trunk, and cardiac revascularization. An unusual case.
Extensive transthoracic brachiocephalic revascularization is rarely performed. Instances of this operation performed concomitantly with cardiac revascularization and carotid endarterectomy have been reported in fewer than 10 cases in the literature. We report the case of a patient requiring complex brachiocephalic revascularization associated with coronary bypass grafting and a left carotid endarterectomy.
