ENDOLUMINAL TRANSFEMORAL ABDOMINAL AORTIC-ANEURYSM REPAIR WITH AORTO-UNI-ILIAC GRAFT AND FEMOROFEMORAL BYPASS

Endoluminal transfemoral repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an important development but large aneurysms seldom have a distal neck suitable for the currently available devices for a straight aortoaortic graft1–3. A bifurcated graft system overcomes the limitation of lack of distal neck but it is unsuitable for a significant proportion of aneurysms because of a wide or aneurysmal iliac vessel1. An alternative technique of aorto‐uni‐iliac graft with occlusion of the contralateral common iliac with embolization and a femorofemoral crossover graft is described.
