Upper extremity thromboembolism caused by occlusion of axillofemoral grafts (original) (raw)

Abstract

Oregon P rosthetic bypass grafting from the axillary artery to the femoral arteries was first performed by Louw' and by Hall and Blaisdel12 in 1962. Axillofemoral bypass has become the treatment of choice for infected aortic prostheses, as well as aortoiliac occlusive disease in high-risk pa-
