Early results of percutaneous intervention for severe coexisting carotid and coronary artery disease.
Fifty-one patients with severe coexisting carotid and symptomatic coronary artery occlusive disease successfully underwent staged or simultaneous coronary angioplasty and carotid stenting. One pericardial effusion and 2 minor strokes with full recovery occurred in the hospital, but no major neurologic events, myocardial infarction, or death were observed and no repeat revascularization was required within the 30-day follow-up.
