Overview

The authors present a rare complication of limb revascularization using pedal bypass, disruption of the surgical wound resulting from infectious etiology with bleeding from the distal anastomosis. The wound disruption was successfully managed by venous interposition grafting. The bypass patency, as well as full functioning of the extremity, were preserved.

Key words:
pedal bypass –surgical wound disruption – Y-graft bypass
