Patients with the combination of coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease have multiple risk factors and manifest widespread vascular disease. Although indications of combined coronary and femoral revascularization are rare, a combined procedure is useful in selected patients. We report a patient who underwent a successful combined coronary and lower extremity revascularization with anterolateral limited thoracotomy.References
