Abstract

Management of patients with concomitant coronary and aorto-iliac atherosclerosis is controversial. It is universally accepted that coronary artery surgery should precede aorto-iliac reconstruction. The technique described consists of an ascending aorta to bifemoral graft. This technique allows combined surgery of the coronary arteries and to the lower limbs without opening the peritoneum.
