AI 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.

Article Abstract

The development of pseudoaneurysms increases with time since the original operation, with incidence 0.2 to 25%. The axillofemoral bypass is employed to treat selective aortoiliac obstructions. Rarely, it is used in reverse form and always for treatment of occlusive arterial disease. We report a para-anastomotic aortic arch pseudoaneurysm and add to the literature a successful hybrid treatment, with bilateral femoroaxillary bypasses, thromboexclusion of all supra-aortic trunks, and aortic arch covering with an endograft.
