%X Rigatelli and colleagues tackled the issue of concomitant non-coronary atherosclerosis among elderly patients undergoing car-diac 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 in-volvement of two or more arterial beds are more common among the elderly makes this article all the more relevant at this time.
