title: [Combined carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting: a report of two cases].
abstract: We reported two cases of successful combined carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting. The first case was a 60-year-old male who had unstable angina pectoris and a history of two times of cerebral infarction. He was revealed to have severe stenosis of left internal carotid artery as well as diffuse stenosis of right and left coronary arteries. The second case, 67-year-old male with a history of cerebral infarction, was admitted because of anterior myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography revealed left main trunk disease and carotid angiography also revealed critical stenosis of bilateral internal carotid arteries. We discussed the management of the patients having coexistent such coronary and carotid artery disease.
