[Ascending aorta to biaxillar and left femoral artery bypass].
A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of ischemia in the upper and lower extremities with rest pain. Aortography revealed complete bilateral subclavian artery occlusion and left femoral artery occlusion. We planned simultaneous revascularization of upper and lower extremities. Ascending aorta to biaxillar and left femoral artery bypass was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged on the 18th day after operation. This procedure was useful for patient with upper and lower limb ischemia.
