114 peripheral artery disease patients who were planned to undergo an endovascular
intervention due to stenosis of 70% or more in any one of lower limb arteries
between January 2013 and August 2017 and underwent coronary artery <span style="color:#0000FF;">angiography </span> at the same time were included in this
study. Patients were divided into three groups according to the degree of the
stenosis in their coronary arteries. Group 1: patients without CAD or having

coronary artery disease with a stenosis of 40-70%, and 75 patients (65.8%) had
significant coronary artery disease with stenosis of 70% and above. 61 (53.5%)
of the cases had hypertension, 31 (27.2%) had diabetes mellitus, 78 (68.4%)
cases had dyslipidemia,  and 10 (8.8%)
cases had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The mortality rate was 17.5%
(20 patients) in patients who could be followed up for one year. The mean age
of group 1 was statistically significantly lower than the other two groups. No
significant difference was found between the groups in terms of other clinical
outcomes. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:200%;"> <b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;line-height:200%;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-us">Conclusion: </span> </b> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;line-height:200%;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> Because of the high incidence
