Abstract:
The problem of chronology between different surgical acts is at stake when a patient suffering from carotid and aorto-iliac or femoropopliteal diseases requires surgery. The joint operation increases surgical risk and its practice penalizes the surgeon. Sequential surgery is safer. It does not increase the risk of a adverse evolution of the diseases areas which has not been operated on at time of the first operation.
