Abstract:
In cases of critical limb ischemia caused by aorto-iliac arteriosclerosis the most common operation is aortobifemoral bypass. This operation has a high patency. We describe two cases in which a thoracic aortobifemoral bypass was chosen as an alternative bypass operation because of a hostile abdomen. Both operations were performed without complications and resulted in normally perfused extremities.
