Abstract
During the past 10 yr, 88 aorto-bilateral iliac/femoral grafts and 56 axillo-bilateral femoral grafts were electively performed for occlusive disease of the abdominal aorta or iliac vessels. The axillo-bilateral femoral graft, although performed in an older population and more frequently for limb salvage, has a lower operative mortality than does conventional aortic bypass surgery with similar patency (76%) and survival (67%) at 5 yr. Axillo femoral grafting requires more frequent remedial surgery to obtain long term patency.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
