Abstract

The creation of a temporary axillofemoral bypass in a patient undergoing surgery for an 8.1 cm symptomatic infrarenal aortic aneurysm is described. This adjunctive procedure, rarely used in abdominal aortic surgery, may have contributed to minimizing variations in afterload in a patient with a 20% ejection fraction and severe mitral regurgitation.
