Aortobifemoral bypass is a surgical procedure that is performed in patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease. Most patients who undergo this procedure have symptoms of claudication, impotence, or non-healing wounds. It can also be performed for aneurysmal disease which involves not only the infrarenal aorta but also the iliac arteries.  

Indications:

  • Atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta or iliac arteries
  • Severe claudication
  • Impotence
  • Nonhealing ulcers in the lower extremities
  • Critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI)
  • Aortic aneurysms involving the iliac arteries for which aortoiliac bypass cannot be safely performed.
  • Acute abdominal aortic occlusion
