Abstract:
There was no significant difference in morbidity and mortality between those that received simultaneous operation for coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease versus those that received coronary artery bypass graft alone. Simultaneous operation is also cost effective. A 46 year-old patient with resting chest pain and intermittent claudication was diagnosed as unstable angina and Leriche's syndrome. We performed simultaneous revascularization for coronary artery stenosis with internal mammary artery and right gastroepiploic artery and a bifurcated vascular graft interposition between in the aorta, left common iliac and right femoral arteries for Leriche's syndrome. The postoperative coronary angiogram and aortogram revealed a good patency of the arterial conduits and vascular graft. He has been followed for 12 months without any problem.
