We believe themanuscript contains certain issues to be discussed in details.The internal thoracic arteries are among the major blood sup-plies to the lower extremities in case of Leriche syndrome.1,2Theymay dilate to provide sufficient blood flow to the legs.2The dilatationprocess may also be associated with increased risk of atherosclerosisand fragility. When patients with Leriche syndrome requires cor-onary revascularization two concerns arise:eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessThoracoabdominal AneurysmLeriche SyndromeVisceral RevascularizationCoronaryIssues during coronary and visceral revascularization in patients with leriche syndrome and thoracoabdominal aneurysmLetter3631168116910.1111/jocs.15368Q4Q3
