Ureteral obstruction after aorto-femoral bypass surgery.
A case of ureteral obstruction from bypass surgery is presented with review of the literature. A pathogenesis for the obstruction has been suggested and specific treatment recommended. More importantly, however, a plea is made to place the ureter anterior to the graft and to study the patient both pre- and postoperatively to prevent obstruction of the ureter in these patients.
