Abstract
Introduction: We report an extremely rare case of rapid progressive calcification in the vascular prosthesis after aortobiiliac bypass surgery. Report: A 56-year-old man presented to our institution with bilateral intermittent claudication. We performed aortobiiliac bypass with a gelatin-coated woven bifurcated graft. One and a half years later, the patient complained of recurrence of intermittent claudication, and abdominal computed tomography scan showed a localized severely calcified stenosis in the right leg of the vascular prosthesis. Discussion: Few reports have been published on when, where, and how graft occlusion occurs. Physicians and surgeons should be aware of the possibility of such a condition after bypass procedures.
