Aim: In the present study, we aimed to present the retrospective outcomes of the patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy under local anesthesia followed by cardiopulmonary bypass under general anesthesia during the same session.
Material and methods: 52 patients (36 male, 16 female patients; mean age was 69.0 ± 8.5 years: range 42 to 75 years) with carotid lesions underwent carotid endarterectomy under local anesthesia and simultaneous cardiopulmonary bypass between 1st March 2015 and 1st March 2016 in our center. This study involved patients with myocardial revascularization and 80% or more carotid stenosis (with or without contralateral disease). Preoperative, preoperative and postoperative characteristics of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Operative mortality rate was 1.9% with one patient. Early postoperative revision was performed in 3 patients (5.7%) bleeding. Postoperative atrial fibrillation developed in 6 patients (11.5%). There was no cerebrovasculary accident postoperatively.
Conclusion: The incidence of coronary and carotid artery disease coexistence is not too low. The combined approach increases the stroke and mortality rate by using general anesthesia in the procedure, although the odds of complications appearing to reduce the duration of hospitalization with the performance of a single seansta procedure. In this study, we reported that local carotid artery intervention and simultaneous coronary artery bypass surgery reduced the stroke risk and mortality rates.
