Abstract

This study shows that cerebrovascular and peripheral arterial diseases frequently co-exist in patients with coronary artery disease who undergo percutaneous coronary interventions. These 2 conditions are associated with adverse in-hospital and 1-year outcomes and independently predict early and 1-year mortality.
