The authors present a case of acute ischemia of one lower limb with a an uncommon etiology. The cause of embolism was an incomplete thrombosis of the abdominal aorta; this followed a blunt trauma occured three months before. Some similar cases, reported in the litterature, are resumed. This observation permits the authors to review other cases of rupture and post-traumatic thrombosis of the abdominal aorta.

Objectives: To report outcomes after the use of the Omniflow II biosynthetic graft (LeMaitre Vascular, Il, USA) for vascular reconstruction in patients with prosthetic infection at the aorto-iliac and femoropopliteal level.
Methods: Within a six-year period, all consecutive patients with aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal graft infection treated by resection of the infected graft material, extensive local debridement and reconstruction using Omniflow II biosynthetic graft were retrospectively analzyed. Patient characteristics, intraoperative details, postoperative outcomes, and infection details were assessed.

Background: Side-to-side microvascular anastomosis is the most difficult type of anastomosis. The best way to master microvascular anastomosis technique is deliberate practice in the microsurgical laboratory.
Methods: Three types of side-to-side microvascular anastomosis using the rat abdominal vessels were presented.
