Distal thoracic aorta to femoral artery bypass: a surgical alternative.
Our experience indicates that the DTA-FA bypass is an acceptable alternative inflow procedure when more commonly used procedures are not feasible. In particular, it is suitable for patients who have undergone prior abdominal surgery or irradiation that makes additional abdominal surgery difficult or undesirable and for patients whose previous inflow operations have failed.
