Patients with diabetes mellitus along other risk factors are vulnerable to develop micro and macro vascular disease including coronary artery, carotid, upper and lower extremities peripheral vascular disease. Physicians dealing with patients with coronary artery disease should at least suspect a disease(s) within other vascular territory or system and vies a versa for this at risk patients. We report a case of 74 year old male patient with history of heavy smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, old stroke, chronic renal impairment and chronic anemia. He was referred from another hospital, with history of recurrent, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), right upper limb and bilateral lower limb claudication, chest pain and three episodes of Non ST elevation Myocardial infarction within the last 2 months. Cardiac catheterization showed multivessel Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), severe occlusive peripheral arterial vascular disease (PAD), in addition to occluded right subclavian and critical bilateral internal carotid artery subtotal stenosis were found and managed successfully with multisystem Percutaneous Transcatheter intervention with near total body stenting.
