Abstract:

On the base of a case report article shows the role of interventional and diagnostic radiology in treatment of patients with multifocal atherosclerosis. Application of modern interventional cardiology methods expands the possibilities in treatment of patients with multifocal atherosclerosis, often in severe condition, and in senile group. Article provides literary data on the prevalence of multifocal atherosclerosis.
