A patient of ischemic heart disease (IHD) with additional carotid artery stenosis (CAS) has been distinguished as a high risk group for both heart and cerebral inconveniences following surgical intervention. We aimed to review the outcome of concurrent carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and off-pump coronary bypass graft (OPCABG)in a patient undergoing surgical revascularization for IHD and CAS at our institute.In the vicinity of 2014 and 2016, fifteen patients experienced OPCABG and CEA associatively in a single Surgeon's Practice. Six (40%) patients had a history of myocardial infarction (MI), four (26.66%) had unstable angina (USAP), and three (20%) had USAP together with MI, though two (13.33%) were asymptomatic. Nine (60%) patients demonstrated no neurological manifestations, three (20%) had transient ischemic assaults (TIAs), two (13.33%) experienced stroke, and 1 (6.66%) experienced both. Majority 7 (46.66%) patients had 75-90% carotid artery stenosis and 6(40%) patients experienced right though 8 (53.33%) experienced left CEA and only 1 (6.66%) had bilateral CEA. Five (33.33%) patients were found left main disease (>50% lesion) and 100% patients have had significant Left Anterior Descending (LAD) lesion in this study. Twelve (80%) patients show significant lesion in Right Coronary Artery (RCA) and ten (66.66%) patients had Obtuse marginal (OM) branch disease. CEA was performed before OPCABG in all cases. There were 15 patients (mean age 62.5±2.8 years; 80% were male), two (13.33%) had a perioperative stroke while one of them had TIAs (6.6%). Mean ICU stay was 36.6±4.5 h and patients were released in 10 days. There was no mortality in the early postoperative period and co-morbidity was less significant (6.6% myocardial ischemia, 13.33% atrial fibrillation, 6.66% TIA, 13.33% Stroke). There was 1 (6.66%) postoperative acute renal failure evidenced by raised serum creatinine level. Two (13.33%) patients showed respiratory complications; only 6.6% of them suffered from wound infection. A combined strategy by means of CEA with OPCABG is safe and savvy in view of the satisfactory consequences of morbidity and mortality rates and also short ICU and hospital stay status.Faridpur Med.

Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) performed in combination with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have also increased steadily since Bernhard and colleague’s initial report in 1972. Coexistence of symptomatic coronary artery disease and significant carotid artery stenosis ranges from 3.4% to 22%. The incidence of postoperative stroke after CABG ranges from 0.7% to 5%. Coronary revascularization in a patient with internal carotid artery stenosis more than 50% is associated with a postoperative stroke rate of 6%, which increases significantly to more than 16% when stenosis is more than 90%. To reduce the potential risk for postoperative stroke after CABG in patients with significant or symptomatic carotid artery stenosis, many surgeons have advocated combined CABG with unilateral carotid endarterectomy. However, clinical experience with the concomitant approach is conflicting. On the basis of the long-term results, it is estimated that simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and myocardial revascularization in conjunction with cardiopulmonary bypass is a method safe enough to prefer its routine use with acceptable low operative risk and satisfactory long-term morbidity. The overall 30-day mortality of combined CABG with bilateral carotid endarterectomy was 6.1% and that was unrelated to primary cardiac or cerebrovascular events. Favorable outcome also supports the justification for performing concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting with bilateral carotid endarterectomies in selected patients.

Background: Concurrent carotid artery stenosis and ischaemic heart disease rates are increasing day by day in Bangladesh. Moreover, carotid artery stenosis has been identified as a high-risk factor for postoperative ischaemic cerebral inconvenience following coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was performed to evaluate 200 study patients from July 2017 to June 2018. Patients with coronary artery disease scheduled for isolated elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery were included in the study, excluding those with coexisting valvular or congenital heart disease and emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Results: About two-thirds of the study patients were 50–59 years old, with a mean age of 57.7 ± 3.06 years. Approximately 70% patients were male; the male:female ratio was 2.1:1. Most of the patients (74.5%) were Muslim. The majority of patients (59.0%) were overweight, and severe carotid artery stenosis was significantly higher in obese patients (p ⩽ 0.05). Furthermore, hypertension and diabetes mellitus were significantly associated with moderate to severe carotid artery stenosis (p ⩽ 0.05). Multi-vessel coronary artery disease was significantly associated with the severity of carotid artery stenosis. Bilateral carotid artery stenosis was significantly associated with the severity of carotid artery stenosis (p ⩽ 0.05). Conclusion: Routine duplex screening will identify significant carotid artery disease and will subsequently reduce the risk of perioperative stroke in ischaemic heart disease patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study was to contribute to the issue of “Who should we perform Doppler ultrasonography on?” and determine the contribution of comorbid diseases to the development of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) and preoperative CAS by examining comorbid diseases in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft operation (CABG) and also discussing the effect of carotid stenosis levels on postoperative stroke. Method: Between 2011-2015, a total of 921 patients who underwent cardiac surgery retrospectively were examined. Of these, 594 CABG patients aged 60 and over who underwent preoperative carotid Doppler examination were analyzed. Results: Sixty-five percent of patients were male, and 35% were female. The mean age was 69.3 years. Sixty-nine percent of patients were in the 0-29% stenosis group, 12.9% in the 30-49% group, 14.6% in the 50-69% group, 3% in the 70-99% group, and 0.3% in the 100% occlusion group. Peripheral artery disease (PAD), age, gender, and diabetes mellitus (DM) were found to have significant (P < 0.05) effects on the occurrence of CAS. CAS increased by 0.9% with an increase of one year in age, 10.8% with the presence of PAD, 3% with male sex, 3.8% with presence of chronic obstructive pulmonery disease (COPD), 1.9% with presence of left main coronary disease (LMCAD), and 0.9% with presence of hypertension. In the decision tree analysis, the rate of 50% and above CAS in the presence of PAH + DM and age older than 65 years was 62.5%. Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) distribution was 2.1% in the 0-29% group, 2.5% in the 30-49% group, 4.5% in the 50-69% group, and 11.1% in the 70-99% group. Postoperative CVA was not observed in 10 patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy (CE). Postoperative CVA developed in six patients with 50% or more stenosis who did not undergo CE. Conclusion: For the preoperative detection of CAS in patients undergoing CABG, the association of advanced age, PAD, DM, male gender, COPD, LMCAD, and hypertension risk factors should be considered. We suggest that carotid screening should be performed in those over 65 years of age and with PAD+DM. Studies with large populations are needed to observe the effects of aortic atherosclerosis load, surgical procedure, and unilateral/bilateral CAS presence on the development of stroke in patients with severe CAS and postoperative CVA.
