Elective femoro-femoral bypass for operations on the heart and great vessels

R Pillai, G Venn, S Lennox and M Paneth

Femoro-femoral bypass with "circulatory arrest" is no longer used in routine cardiac operations. Its use today is normally limited to operations wherein access to the arch of the aorta is required or the thoracic aorta is to be temporarily occluded. We have recently encountered three patients presenting with complications of previous operations. In all three, the use of this technique allowed us to approach the defect safely.
