We report on complications following vascular surgery of the aorto-iliac segment. Recurrent occlusions were observed in 15.3% of our cases. The operative mortality was 1.8%. The etiology of anastomotic false aneurysms is discussed. One deep graft infection was successfully managed. Ureteric lesions following aortic surgery are exceptional. No ischemic colitis occurred among our patients. Two cases of aorto-intestinal fistulae are described.
