Late rupture of ligated common iliac arteries

P R Taylor et al. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 1987 May.

Abstract

Late rupture may follow simple ligation of the common iliac arteries after aortobifemoral grafting. Oversewing the origins of the arteries may prevent this rare but dangerous complication. A CT scan is recommended to investigate unexplained abdominal pain following aortic surgery.
