Successful Concomitant Revascularization in a Patient with Carotid, Coronary, and Intestinal Artery Occlusive Disease.
BACKGROUND
Chronic mesenteric ischemia and carotid stenosis frequently have coexistent coronary artery disease. Myocardial ischemia is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality following revascularization of the peripheral arteries. The optimal treatment of concurrent mesenteric, carotid, and coronary disease is unknown.


METHODS
We report a case of a 75-year-old man who required revascularization of the left anterior descending coronary and superior mesenteric arteries and carotid endarterectomy. After concomitant surgical revascularization, the patient remained asymptomatic during the 3-year follow-up.


CONCLUSIONS
A good result in this case encourages us for one-stage combined surgical intervention in patients who require multisystem revascularization.
