Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, and multiarterial involvement is common. Involvement of all the supra-aortic arteries may occur in the same patient making cerebral revascularization challenging. In this report, we present complete supra-aortic revascularization, that is, revascularization of the bilateral common carotid and subclavian arteries in a 51-year-old male patient with occluded brachiocephalic trunk, left subclavian artery, and proximally stenotic left common carotid artery. A temporary ascending aorta to left external carotid artery bypass provided meticulous cerebral protection with pulsatile cerebral flow in the presence of a proximal arterial clamp; hence, a neurologically uneventful procedure during bilateral common carotid artery revascularization.
