A fifty-one-year-old Japanese man with Werner's syndrome underwent suc cessful reconstruction of peripheral arteries. His chief complaints were rest pain and intermittent claudication in the left lower extremity. Clinical manifestations included short stature, low body weight, stocky trunk with thin limbs, graying hair, peripheral muscular atrophy, a high-pitched voice, bilateral cataracts, typical facies, atrophic skin, and diabetes mellitus. Angiograms showed multi ple and severe calcified stenoses of the left femoropopliteal artery. The operative method used was semiclosed thromboendarterectomy.

To the authors' knowledge, this case is the first surgical correction of a pe ripheral vascular lesion in a patient with Werner's syndrome.
