Abstract
Two patients with significant coronary artery disease in addition to complex and extensive brachiocephalic occlusive disease were studied. Both were operated upon successfully with simultaneous repair of both anatomic areas. Additional patients [14] with combined coronary and conventional carotid disease were operated upon successfully with a simultaneous approach to both lesions. Until convincing prospective data are available to indicate otherwise, a simultaneous approach to these combined lesions apparently is indicated.
