We describe a case of simultaneous ascending aortobifemoral and right common carotid artery bypass to treat a symptomatic brachiocephalic artery and juxtarenal chronic total occlusion in a 68-year-old female patient with unfavorable characteristics for endovascular and standard aortofemoral procedures. Mid-term follow-up revealed sustained remission of symptoms, quality of life quality of life improvement, and patent bypass grafts. In highly selected patients, this solution can be useful when treating other intrathoracic diseases, as well as allowing the simultaneous revascularization of two remote arterial beds.
