Surgical treatment of extensive atherosclerosis of supraaortic arterial branches: Two case reports

Herein, we report two cases with symptomatic stenosis of the great vessels successfully treated surgically with aorto-bi-carotid artery bypass and aorto-innominate common carotid artery bypass. Both operations were performed via standard median sternotomy. In the second patient, concomitant coronary revascularization was performed. Postoperative courses of both patients were uneventful.
