Am J Cardiol. 1999 Sep 1;84(5):600-2, A9. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(99)00388-4.

Abstract

Fifty-one patients with severe coexisting carotid and symptomatic coronary artery occlusive disease successfully underwent staged or simultaneous coronary angioplasty and carotid stenting. One pericardial effusion and 2 minor strokes with full recovery occurred in the hospital, but no major neurologic events, myocardial infarction, or death were observed and no repeat revascularization was required within the 30-day follow-up.
