A 63-year-old male patient with both coronary artery disease and leg ischemia was successfully treated with a combined procedure. Coronary arteries were bypassed with the saphenous vein graft and in situ left internal mammary artery, and bilateral femoral arteries were bypassed with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts descended from the ascending aorta through the preperitoneal abdominal wall tunnel. After this procedure he experienced neither angina nor claudication.
