[Laparoscopically-assisted aortofemoral bypass].

The authors present a case-history of a patient with occlusion of the pelvic arteries where they implemented an implantation of a bifurcation prosthesis with laparoscopic assistance. Preparations of the abdominal aorta, application of clamps, aortotomy and completion of the prostheto-aortal anastomosis was implemented by laparoscopy. The authors own experience and reports in the literature indicate that the laparoscopic approach may represent in addition to angioplasties with stenting a modern mini-invasive approach in vascular surgery.
