title: Cardiopulmonary bypass established via a sutured vascular graft in the presence of extraanatomic bypass.
abstract: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was established via a sutured collagen sealed knitted Dacron graft in two patients who had undergone extraanatomic bypasses for lower limb ischemia, whose ascending aorta was not suitable for cannulation. One patient, with a history of femorofemoral bypass, underwent surgery for a ruptured aortic arch aneurysm (AAA) and the other patient, with a history of axillobifemoral bypass for chronic dissection involving the aortic arch and descending aorta, had unstable angina and underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. This technique of perfusion was found to be safe and effective for patients with an impaired ascending aorta who have undergone an extraanatomic bypass for the lower limb.
