Bladder infarct.
We present here a case of a bladder infarct as a complication of aortofemoral bypass surgery. An intravenous urogram 6 weeks after surgery showed reduced expansion on the left side of the bladder and a sausage-shaped filling defect at the site of the infarct. The diagnosis was made by histologic examination of bladder wall biopsies.
