title: Operative Management of Crossover Femoral-femoral Graft Erosion into Bladder: A Case Report.
abstract: Erosion of vascular grafts is not uncommon as seen in the recent literature. There have been many case reports documenting the work up and management of erosion of these grafts into bowel. We report a case of a crossover femoral-femoral graft that eroded into the anterior bladder wall and was incidentally found as an adherent bladder stone during cystoscopy. We demonstrate the importance of having a high level of clinical suspicion for eroding vascular grafts when preoperative imaging shows close proximity of graft to bladder.
