Popis: Acute aortic occlusion is an infrequent clinical event with high morbidity and mortality. Management is determined by the cause of the occlusion, with thromboembolectomy used for embolic events and bypass for thrombotic events. After bypass, recanalization of a total aortic occlusion has been sparsely reported. We present a case of a total occlusion of an infrarenal abdominal aorta that was managed surgically with a left axillary-bifemoral bypass. Imaging performed 6 months postoperatively revealed a spontaneously recanalized aorta and occluded bypass graft.
