These patients carry an additional morbidity and mortality risks due to existing extensive atherosklerozis. Thrombosis, hemotoma, upper extre- mity ischemia and infection are frequently encountered complications. Proximale anastomosis detachment, although rare, is reported to be a serious complication for these patients since proximal anastomosis is performed on axilary artery. In this case, a patient who has been operated succesfully due to proximal anastomosis detachment after axillobifemoral bypass procedure, is reported.
