[Multistage endovascular treatment of multifocal atherosclerosis]
Abstract:
We present a report of a clinical case of multistage endovascular treatment of multifocal atherosclerosis with involvement of coronary arteries, left renal artery, and arteries of lower extremities. A 54 year old patient with type 2 diabetes, impaired renal function, vasorenal hypertension, and lowered left ventricular contractility had history of stroke and myocardial infarction. Endovascular treatment was carried out in 6 stages with sequential angioplasty and stenting of coronary arteries, arteries of lower extremities, and left renal artery. Overall 20 stents were implanted (17 with drug covering): 10 in coronary vascular bed, 9 in arteries of lower extremities, 1 in renal artery. Control examination in 9 months showed good remote angiographic and clinical result.
