Combined off-pump coronary revascularization: ascending aorta to carotid bypass.
A 76-year-old man with symptomatic cerebral vascular disease and coronary artery disease was treated with simultaneous off-pump bypass and cerebral revascularization. With the emergence of off-pump coronary artery operation as a viable option for coronary revascularization we believe that this procedure will become our method of choice for combined cerebral and coronary artery disease.
