Abstract
We describe a case of acute renal failure caused by extension of an atherosclerotic occlusive process to the suprarenal aorta. A 68-year-old man underwent bypass grafting from the ascending aorta to the femoral arteries using straight and Y-grafts. Additional saphenous vein grafts were placed from the intra-abdominal portion of the graft to the left and right renal arteries and the splenic artery. As a consequence, relief of limb ischemia was achieved and dialysis could be discontinued.
