Abstract
71 years old man was operated on due to abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with complete occlusion of left common iliac artery. The coexisting chronic deep vein thrombosis of the left femoral and iliac vein was not diagnosed preoperatively. Resection of aneurysm and Y-graft interposition was performed. Recurrent edema and pain occured to the left lower extremity immediately postoperatively, which aggrevated with the lapse of time, resulting in fatal extensive venous thrombosis. This report regards the surgical treatment and complication of the aortoiliac occlusive disease associated with chronic deep vein thrombosis.
