An aorto-bi-iliac resection was performed in a patient with recurrent cancer of the left colon. Implantation of a Dacron vascular prosthesis was combined with left iliac colostomy and resection of 3rd part of duodenum. Based on this case and a review of the literature, the possibility and value of resection of an invaded vascular axis is emphasized. The revascularization procedure, either by a prosthesis in situ or associated extra-anatomical by-pass, is discussed.
