Article Synopsis
  • Carotid artery disease is common in patients with coronary heart disease, requiring revascularization options that include simultaneous or staged surgeries for treatment.
  • A study involving 192 patients compared the outcomes of simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) versus staged procedures, assessing their 30-day and long-term effects on overall health.
  • Results showed no significant differences in short-term and long-term major cardiovascular events between the two groups, but the simultaneous surgery group had a higher risk of complications and required longer ventilatory support, despite not leading to more deaths or major adverse events.

Unlabelled: In this meta-analysis, we examine the advantages of invasive strategies for patients diagnosed with chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) and preserved left ventricular (LV) function, as well as those with significant LV systolic dysfunction (LV ejection fraction (EF) < 45%).

Material And Methods: We conducted a systematic search to identify all randomized trials directly comparing invasive strategies with optimal medical therapy (OMT) in patients diagnosed with chronic CHD. Data from these trials were pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis.
