ABSTRACT
Patients with concomitant carotid and left main or left main equivalent coronary artery disease are at high risk of both cardiac and cerebrovascular complications when they undergo revascularization procedures. Here, we present case reports of three patients who successfully underwent elective carotid stenting prior to coronary artery bypass surgery. Any sort of intervention in these patients is fraught with high risk due to the severity of their carotid and coronary artery disease.
