Purpose: To report an alternative approach for rescue of an occluded aortofemoral bypass using the Gore Excluder Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE).
Case Report: A 52-year-old man presented with acute right limb ischemia because of displaced and occluded iliac stents and was treated with aortofemoral bypass. On the third postoperative day, there was early bypass failure due to distal embolization from aortic thrombus. After fluoroscopy-guided balloon thrombectomy of the bypass, an endovascular bailout strategy was used. The Gore Excluder IBE was deployed below the renal arteries (with the external iliac limb opening in the surgical prosthesis and the gate opening within the aortic lumen). After antegrade catheterization of the gate, a Gore Viabahn endoprosthesis was inserted as the bridging endograft and deployed so that it landed just above the preimplanted aortoiliac kissing stents without overlapping them. Completion angiography showed technical success without complications; results were sustained at 1-year follow-up.
Conclusion: The Gore Excluder IBE may represent a versatile solution for the rescue of complex cases when open surgery would be associated with a considerable risk. This off-label application of a well-recognized endovascular device is safe and feasible and may prove useful as a valuable alternative in properly selected patients.

Introduction And Importance: Leriche syndrome (LS), or aortoiliac occlusive disease, is a rare form of peripheral arterial disease leading to claudication, impotence, and diminished femoral pulses due to atheromatous obstruction of the infrarenal aorta and common iliac arteries. Early identification is crucial as untreated LS can result in severe complications. Treatment primarily involves surgical interventions, with endovascular options considered as alternatives.

Aortofemoral graft limbs are a rarely used and understudied option for large-bore access for mechanical support due to a risk of downstream vascular events. Here we present a case of left main coronary artery percutaneous intervention utilizing an aortofemoral bypass graft limb for large-bore access for mechanical support with successful hemostasis utilizing a widely available suture-based closure device.

Background: Incisional complications of groin after inflow or infrainguinal bypasses with prosthetic conduits can result in major morbidities that require reoperation, infected graft removal, and limb loss. Muscle flaps are typically performed to treat groin wound complications, but they are also done prophylactically at the time of index procedures in certain high-risk-for-poor-healing patients to mitigate anticipated groin wound complications. We used a nationwide multi-institutional database to investigate outcomes of prophylactic muscle flaps in high-risk patients who underwent prosthetic bypasses involving femoral anastomosis.

Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease is a circulatory disorder characterized by reduced blood flow to the extremities, predominantly affecting the lower limbs. This study aims to evaluate the impact of aortofemoral and iliofemoral bypass surgeries on patients' quality of life two years post operation and identify predictors of quality-of-life improvements.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included adult patients with aortoiliac disease who underwent bypass surgery (aortofemoral or iliofemoral) at East Jeddah General Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022.
