    Abstract:
    We reported a 65-year-old male with the history of both cerebral and myocardial infarctions. Simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and myocardial revascularization (coronary artery bypass grafting = CABG) were performed. Ascending aorta was severely calcified. CABG was performed without aortic cross clamp under systemic moderate hypothermia and elective ventricular fibrillation. The wean off from extracorporeal circulation was successful. The postoperative course was uneventful. We recommend the simultaneous revascularization for the carotid and coronary artery obstructive diseases. CABG under ventricular fibrillation without aortic cross clamp was useful and unhazardous in patients presenting calcified ascending aorta.
