title: [Extra-anatomical bypasses: axillofemoral and femorofemoral. Indications and results].
abstract: Indications for a unilateral or bilateral axillofemoral and femorofemoral bypass, are presented. Our experience in 48 patients with axillofemoral and femorofemoral form the basis of this report. Indications for these extended bypasses included suppurative growing infection and obliterated common and profunda femoris arteries. These procedures were rapidly performed in critically ill patients. One patient died of recurrent artoduodenal hemorrhage three days following successful axillofemoral bypass. The other patients enjoyed patent grafts for variable periods, although some of them successfully underwent a declotting procedure.
