Description
Summary:	Our recent experience in reconstruction of late thrombosis of Dacron aortic-femoral graft is presented along with initial evaluation and treatment. It is suggested that a particular patient population is prone to this complication, and that aggressive restoration of limb flow is essential. This frequently involves ingenious techniques of deep femoral artery reconstruction done concomitantly with various inflow procedures as illustrated.
