Abstract:
A 57-year-old man presented with unstable angina and uncontrolled diabetes with diabetic foot. It was decided to perform right below knee amputation with coronary revascularization in a single stage. Right below knee amputation was carried out first. The left anterior descending artery, ramus intermedius, and second obtuse marginal branch of the circumflex were bypassed on a beating heart, using saphenous vein grafts. The patient was discharged on the 7th postoperative day after a course of antibiotics.
