摘要： In this issue of the Journal of Geriatric Cardiology,Rigatelli and colleagues tackled the issue of concomitant noncoronary atherosclerosis among elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery.1 Ilio-femoral disease, renal artery stenosis, carotid stenosis, and even disease of supra-aortic vessels may variously impact the patient's recovery from surgery. Also, the fact that involvement of two or more arterial beds are more common among the elderly makes this article all the more relevant at this time.
