Three patients who were unfit for the usual techniques of aorto‐illac reconstruction because of severe cardio‐respiratory disease were treated by subcutaneous arterial bypass grafting. The Indication for operation in one patient was massive intra‐ abdominal aortic and illac aneurysms. in the other two patients, aorto‐illac occlusion had produced critical lower‐limb ischæmla.
