[Aneurysms, late complications at the level of anastomosis of an arterial bypass].
The authors report 12 cases of aneurysm occuring in anastomoses in 9 operated patients. The delay of onset of these lesions was long, 9 years on average. The fraquency appears low, slightly greater than 1 p. 100 in all arterial plastic operations. Among the 10 treated lesions half were false aneurysms due to breakdown of the suture and half were true aneurysms due to progression of the arterial dystrophy. All cases were treated by dissection and insertion of a new prosthesis between the old prosthesis and a healthy area, beyond the anastomosis. Out of 9 patients, there were 8 good immediate results and one failure due to infection at the level of the prosthesis. Among the various methods of prevention, avoiding infection may be the most important.
