As a result, severe coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) frequently coexists with significant carotid stenosis that warrants revascularization; CONCLUSIONS: The current meta-analysis did not detect statistically significant differences in the rates of peri-operative stroke, TIA and MI between the groups. However, patients in the simultaneous CEA and CABG group had a significantly higher risk of 30-day mortality. Future randomized trials or prospective cohorts are needed to validate our results.

Eligible studies were identified through a search of PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane until July, 2018. A meta-analysis was conducted with the use of a random effects model. The I-square statistic was used to assess heterogeneity; OBJECTIVE: To compare synchronous carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and CABG vs. staged carotid artery stenting (CAS) and CABG for patients with concomitant CAD and carotid artery stenosis in terms of peri-operative (30-day) outcomes; RESULTS: Five studies comprising 16,712 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Peri-operative stroke (odds ratio (OR): 0.84; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.43- 1.64; I2= 39.1%), transient ischemic attack (TIA) (OR: 0.32; 95% CI: 0.04- 2.67; I2= 27.6%) and myocardial infarction (MI) rates (OR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.08- 3.85; I2= 68.9%) were similar between the two groups. However, patients who underwent simultaneous CEA and CABG were at a statistically significant higher risk for peri-operative mortality (OR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.05- 3.06; I2= 0.0%) UR - https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2019.06.018 ER -
