Abstract

The axillofemoral bypass was introduced in 1962 by Blaisdell and Hall (2), and also by Louw (9) as a substitute for conventional arterial reconstruction in high risk patients with severe aortoiliac occlusive disease. With the passage of time and increased experience with this procedure, the indications were expanded to include management of infected abdominal aortic grafts (1) and a limited trial of extra-abdominal bypass of abdominal aortic aneurysms (3).
