Article Synopsis
- The axillofemoral bypass is primarily used to address specific aortoiliac blockages, though it can also be done in reverse for occlusive arterial disease.
- The study reports a successful hybrid treatment for a para-anastomotic aortic arch pseudoaneurysm involving bilateral femoroaxillary bypasses, thromboexclusion of all supra-aortic trunks, and the use of an endograft to cover the aortic arch.
Objective: To evaluate the results of a technique described by Carreira et al. using bilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion by isolating the brachiocephalic trunk and the left carotid artery.
Methods: Fifteen patients were operated between June 2005 and September 2007.

We report a patient who developed dyspnea on mild exertion six years after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Myocardial ischemia was documented by radionuclide imaging, and coronary angiography showed patency of all grafts and a large fistula between the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and the left pulmonary artery (LPA). The patient was submitted to surgical closure of the fistula and made an excellent recovery.
