Abstract
Nonanastomotic aneurysms of arterial prosthetic grafts are an infreque nt but well-documented complication of arterial bypass surgery. Severa l cases of nonanastomotic aneurysm formation of the external velour-ty pe Dacron graft have been reported. We present a case of an external v elour ringed Dacron (Sauvage EXS) femoropopliteal bypass graft with mu ltiple nonanastomotic aneurysms. An extensive review of the English li terature shows this to be the first reported case of multiple aneurysm s occurring in this type of prosthesis.
