Revascularization strategy of coronary artery heart disease combined with severe carotid artery stenosis

Abstract

Atherosclerosis is a common chronic systemic vascular disease that can cause coronary artery heart disease (CHD) and carotid artery stenosis. CHD and carotid artery stenosis usually coexist, and they are important risk factors for complications after revascularization. There is still no consensus on how to choose a revascularization strategy when both diseases are present. This article reviews the epidemiology and revascularization strategies of CHD combined with carotid artery stenosis in order to provide a theoretical basis for the effective treatment of comorbidity.
