Peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurs when plaque accumulates in the arterial system and obstructs blood flow. Narrowing of the abdominal aorta and the common iliac arteries due to atherosclerotic plaques restricts blood supply to the lower limbs. Clinically, the lower limb symptoms of PAD are intermittent claudication, discoloration of the toes, and skin ulcers, all due to arterial insufficiency. Surgical revascularization is the primary mode of treatment for patients with severe limb ischemia. The objective of the surgical procedure is to bypass a blockage in an occluded major vessel by constructing an alternate route for blood flow using an artificial graft. This article presents information on aortoiliac reconstruction, with an emphasis on axillobifemoral bypass grafting.

We report an extremely rare case of thoracoabdominal replacement after left axillo-bifemoral artery bypass surgery. The patient was a 33-year-old man who had undergone left axillo-bifemoral artery bypass surgery after total arch replacement due to lower extremity ischemia by stenosis of the elephant trunk graft 10 years previously. He was admitted to the emergency department with back pain.

We present a case of bilateral lower limb ischemia caused by endograft collapse due to type B acute aortic dissection (TBAD). A 70-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that was treated by endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) 17 days prior returned to our hospital due to chest pain and bilateral lower limb paleness.

Introduction And Importance: Coral-reef type aortic occlusions are uncommon conditions that can result in intermittent claudication. Many claudicants also have concomitant neurogenic aetiologies and revascularization alone may not be beneficial. These cases can prove to be a diagnostic challenge.

A primary aortoenteric fistula is a rare clinical entity that leads to severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding and carries a high risk of mortality, yet diagnosing aortoenteric fistulas remains challenging. Diagnosis is frequently delayed due to the uncommon and non-specific nature of the abdominal signs and symptoms. Rapid diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are paramount to the successful management of this condition which is known for its profoundly poor prognosis.

Background: Juxtarenal aortic occlusion (JRAO), in which the occlusion of the aorta extends to just below the renal artery, is often treated by bypass surgery because of concerns about the risk of procedural failure and fatal embolization to abdominal organs when treated with endovascular treatment (EVT). This study assessed the outcome of EVT for JRAO compared with aorto-biiliac /aorto-bifemoral (AOB) or axillo-bifemoral (AXB) bypass.
Methods: A retrospective review of an international database created by 30 centers in Asia (CHronic Abdominal Aortic Occlusion, ASian Multicenter registry) was performed for patients who underwent revascularization for chronic total occlusion of the infrarenal aorta from 2007 to 2017.
