Treatment for Ischemic Heart Disease as a Comorbidity of Leriche Syndrome / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to clarify the comorbidities of patients with Leriche syndrome and ischemic heart disease. We enrolled 26 patients with Leriche syndrome and who had undergone preoperative coronary angiography were enrolled. The comorbidities of diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease developed in more than half of Leriche patients with Leriche syndrome. Marked coronary artery disease was diagnosed in 14 patients, 7 of whom underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. The Revascularization procedures performed in patients with Leriche syndrome were anatomical aortofemoral bypass in 15 and an extra-anatomical axillofemoral bypass in 9. In 2 cases of extra-anatomical bypass, occlusion developed in the long-term.
