Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are one of the most common cause of death in the world, atherosclerosis is the main pathologic change, and often involving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular concurrently. No consensus has been reached on whether carotid endarterectomy (CEA) combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) should be performed at concurrent operation or staged operation (CEA after CABG or CABG after CEA) in patients with ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, with the deepening of research on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the improvement of surgical techniques and development of intravascular intervention techniques, it provides theoretical basis and technical support for simultaneous surgical intervention.
