Necrosis of the femoral heads following aorto-bifemoral vascular grafting. Case report.

Abstract
A case of bilateral necrosis of the femoral head, following aorto-bifemoral vascular bypass, is reported. The necrosis of the femoral heads might be explained by a temporary obstruction of the lateral blood supply peripheral to the arteria profunda femoris, due to an increased joint pressure caused by regional oedema with joint effusion and swelling of the joint capsule.
