title: Late Lower Extremity Ischemia due to Thrombi in an Occluded Graft after Axillary-Femoral Artery Bypass.
abstract: We experienced a rare case of acute ischemia of the lower extremity due to embolism caused by an occluded prosthetic graft late after axillary-femoral artery bypass. A 67-year-old woman developed acute right lower extremity ischemia 7 years after axillary-femoral artery bypass, which had been performed for lower limb ischemia as a complication of acute aortic dissection (Stanford B). The graft was occluded, and the native vessel had re-canalized by the time of the present admission. She was successfully treated by disconnection of the graft followed by revascularization.
