Evaluación de estenosis carotídea en pacientes subsidiarios de revascularización miocárdica

We consider the use of carotid duplex as a primary indication in the study of these patients; it is especially important when there is significant injury to the LCT (> 50%) and cerebrovascular disease. We propose combined surgery in cardiologically unstable patients and it is recommendable in LCT lesion ≥ 50%, although further clinical trials are needed to improve the indication.
