Abstract

A 62-year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of coldness in both legs and discolorization in the right toes. On angiogram, obstruction of right external iliac artery and left common iliac artery was shown. The patient underwent extended extraanatomic arterial reconstruction due to poor general conditions. From right subclavian artery to right popliteal artery, artery bypass was done with 8 mm PTFE and 6 mm PTFE. Suprapubic crossover bypass was done with another 8 mm PTFE from 8 mm PTFE in right inguinal area that was anastomosed with right subclavian artery and left common femoral artery. The patient was discharged from hospital and OPD follow up was done. Right leg pain and discolorization of entire toes disappeared and were normalized. We report a case of extended extraanatomic arterial reconstruction: subclavian artery-popliteo-crossover-femoral-PEFE-bypass.
