Zusammenfassung:Aortobifemoral bypass remains the standard therapy for aortoiliac occlusive disease. Extraanatomic revascularization has been considered as an acceptable alternative and provides reasonable long-term results. Because some of the causes for its failure are related to the prosthetic material used, a technique that uses autologous material and is applicable in patients with unilateral common iliac lesions was developed. Iliofemoral crossover transposition is a femorofemoral bypass procedure in which the external iliac artery is used as a graft. The procedure is easily performed and avoids the use of prosthetic materials, minimizing the risks of their related complications. Because its biologic behavior, including hemodynamic performance, has proven to be excellent, satisfactory long-term results can be anticipated. (J Vasc Surg 2002;36:404-7.)
