Malabsorption following aorto-femoral bypass.
A case of malabsorption which developed after aortofemoral bypass surgery is described. Barium enema showed ischemic changes, and postoperative arteriography revealed marked reduction of the peripheral vascular bed of the mesenteric arteries. Malabsorption probably developed as a consequence of mesenteric ischemia, aggravated by the surgical procedure, the so-called aorto-iliac steal syndrome.
