TI  - Recanalization of peripheral arteries by interventional cardiologists: rationale 
      and results.
PG  - 304-6
AB  - The coexistence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and multilevel atherosclerosis 
      increases death and stroke rates in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). 
      These patients are often treated conservatively without revascularisation of 
      inferior limbs. We included 66 consecutive patients with complex CAD diagnosed by 
      coronary angiography. All patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention 
      (PCI) for non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) before or 
      simultaneously with peripheral angioplasty (PTA). Major adverse cardiac and 
      cerebrovascular events (MACCE) during long-term follow-up were assessed. There 
      were 3 deaths, one myocardial infarction, two urgent PCIs, two ischaemic strokes 
      and two TIAs, 8 repeated PTAs in previously treated peripheral lesions, 7 
      elective PTAs of other vessels after the index procedure in different 
      hospitalisations and no amputation. Patients with concomitant CAD and PAD could 
      safely undergo percutaneous cardiovascular interventions with promising long-term 
      follow-up.
