Abstract

The presence of bilateral carotid artery occlusions in patients that require coronary artery bypass surgery is rare. Here, we report the successful coronary revascularization of two patients with cardiopulmonary bypass under moderate hypothermia. Routine preoperative carotid artery duplex sonographies revealed bilateral total internal carotid occlusions. However, no neurological deficits or abnormalities were found on clinical examination or brain computed tomography, respectively. The vertebral blood flows of both patients were also found to be highly increased. Following successful surgery, the postoperative courses were uneventful and patients were discharged from the hospital on the seventh postoperative day.
