title: [Stagewise treatment of a patient with multifocal atherosclerosis, limb ischaemia, and surgical infection].
abstract: The authors share herein their experience in successful treatment of a male patient with multifocal atherosclerosis and lower-limb critical ischaemia complicated by erysipelas.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  to show not only efficacy of iloprost (Ilomedin) used as conservative treatment in patients presenting with critical ischaemia and surgical infection in both pre- and postoperative periods in order to save the limb, but also the possibility of postponing reconstructive intervention, improving the patient's quality of life during this period, as well as shortening the duration of the postoperative period, and also to demonstrate both immediate outcomes of endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and remote results of comprehensive treatment for disseminated multifocal atherosclerosis with severe accompanying pathology.
