Abstract :
Introduction Severe presentation of concomitant carotid, coronary,
and peripheral arteriosclerosis is not a common finding. However, some
studies have reported surgical and noninvasive interventions for this
condition. Case Presentation Herein, we present a patient with
concomitant carotid, coronary, and peripheral arteriosclerosis, who
underwent angioplasty in Tehran, Iran in November 2015. Some studies
have been carried out on surgical and percutaneous coronary, carotid and
peripheral intervention for concomitant lesions; however, reports about
percutaneous coronary, carotid and peripheral intervention, similar to
the present case, are not available. Conclusions Due to lack of evidence
on the prevalence and management of concomitant multifocal coronary,
carotid, and limb arteriosclerosis, it is necessary to perform
well-designed studies on such groups of patients to define proper
management (surgical versus endovascular interventions), periprocedural
complications, as well as short- and long-term outcomes.
