Abstract
Bypass surgery is performed for insuring continuity of a blood supply that is restricted due to obstruction of the native blood supply. Two types of surgery are commonly carried out: one is anatomic bypass and the other is extraanatomic bypass. Especially, extraanatomic bypass surgery is performed in patients who are a high risk for performing anatomical bypass surgery. The risk factors for anatomical bypass surgery are old age, infection, previous surgery and trauma. A 96-year-old patient underwent extraanatomic bypass surgery from the right femoral artery to the left femoral artery due to total occlusion of the left iliac artery, and 7 years after that operation, a pseudoaneurysm abruptly and spontaneously appeared from the bypass suture site without any predisposing factor. The lesion was revealed to be an organizing thrombus.
