[Laparoscopy-assisted aortobifemoral bypass through the transperitoneal retrorenal approach].

We report the case of a 49-year old man with disabling hip claudication and rest pain in his left lower extremity. On examination the patient had reduced right femoral pulse and absent pulses in his left lower extremity.
