Arterial complications after total hip arthroplasty are relatively rare but potentially limb or life threatening. We report a case of an arterial thrombosis occurring in a patient with an aortobifemoral bypass graft after primary total hip arthroplasty.
The excision of an infected aortobifemoral Dacron graft 9 years after implantation and bilateral axillofemoral Dacron bypass reconstruction led to reinfection of the extra-anatomic bypass grafts. A new aortobifemoral reconstruction was performed using cryopreserved homografts delivered by the European Homograft Bank in Brussels and both axillo-femoral prostheses were removed. No signs of infection and no alterations of the homografts can be detected 3 years later.
