Autovenous ilicofemoral bypass, 21 years later - a case-review

Abstract

We present the case of patient with autovenous ilicofemoral bypass after 21 years. The indication was traumatic demage of left iliac artery during car accident.

The arterial reconstruction was patent for more than two decades with gradual arterialisation of graft. Excessive dilatation has caused the late occlusion of bypass.

Ischaemia of the left limb was treated by crossover ilico-femoral bypass.
