Abstract:
The obturator foramen bypass has been described as an alternative procedure to solve complicated vascular problems in the groin. This extra-anatomical bypass has been used successfully in cases of infection, mycotic aneurysm, traumatic ulcer, irradiation ulcer, and excessively scarred tissues in the femoral region. We experienced two cases of iliopopliteal bypass through obturator foramen in femoral artery mycotic aneurysm and graft infection after femoral-femoral bypass.
