Abstract
- Though axillo-femoral bypass has been the preferred procedure since the introduction of the procedure by Blaisdell1) in 1963 for high risk patients who have aorto-iliac occlusive disease, widespread use of axillo-femoral bypass was limited in the past because long-term patency rates were inferior to aortofemoral bypass. Multiple mechanisms were mentioned for its inferior patency but delayed stenosis of the inflow artery(not at anastomosis site) were not reported frequently. The authors experienced one case of inflow malfunction of axillo-femoral bypass due to subclavian artery stenosis in a patient with coronary artery disease and carotid artery stenosis. Subclavian artery stenosis was treated by percutaneous transfemoral angioplasty with improvement of symptom and ABI.
