## TL;DR

An 81-year-old man received simultaneous stenting for carotid and iliac artery blockages, successfully avoiding neurological issues and remaining symptom-free after six months.

## Contribution

This case demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of simultaneous carotid and iliac artery stenting for complex atherosclerotic disease.

## Key findings

- Simultaneous carotid artery stenting and iliac artery stenting was successfully performed in a single patient.
- The patient showed no neurological deficits and remained asymptomatic at six-month follow-up.
- The procedure provided comprehensive revascularization for concurrent severe arterial stenosis.

## Abstract

An 81-year-old man with asymptomatic severe carotid artery stenosis and symptomatic iliac artery stenosis underwent simultaneous carotid artery stenting (CAS) and iliac artery percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting. The procedure involved transfemoral access, balloon angioplasty, and stenting of the right iliac artery, followed by CAS of the right carotid artery. Similar procedures were performed later on the left iliac and carotid arteries. The patient was discharged with no neurological deficits and remained asymptomatic at a six-month follow-up. Simultaneous CAS and iliac artery stenting were feasible and effective in patients with concurrent severe carotid and iliac artery stenosis, providing a comprehensive revascularization strategy for patients with complex atherosclerotic disease.
