A patient with severe coronary artery disease and leg ischaemia was successfully treated with a combined revascularization procedure. The coronary arteries were bypassed with three vein grafts, and the bilateral femoral arteries were bypassed with a Dacron graft using the ascending aorta as the source of inflow. The patient recovered well and experienced no angina or claudication two years later.
