[Subclavian-femoral bypass: New course (author's transl)].
An unusual course for subclavian-femoral bypass was made by tunnelisation underneath the abdominal wall rather than the skin in an elderly patient with a huge incurable incisional hernia which required the wearing of an abdominal support belt. The prosthesis passed behind the sternum and the deep surface of the abdominal wall when the belt was worn.
