title: [Simultaneous operations of the carotid bifurcation and coronary vessels in moderate systemic hypothermia].
abstract: Comorbidity of coronary heart disease and carotid stenosis raises the question of surgical stratification. A simultaneous approach of carotid endarterectomy and coronary revascularization, both under conditions of moderate hypothermic extracorporeal circulation, was applied in 48 patients. Considering the complexity of the procedures required the 30-day mortality (2.1%) and perioperative incidence of permanent stroke (2.1%) or myocardial infarction (0%) appeared to be comparably low.
