During a 5-year period, from 1990 to 1994, 61 patients underwent prosthetic reconstruction of aorto-iliac district for aneurysmal (53 cases) or obstructive (8 cases) disease. There was no postoperative mortality; 3 cases of early perianastomotic thrombosis, 2 cases of left colon necrosis, 4 cases of femoral pseudoaneurysm and 5 cases of sexual disfunction were recorded. If accurately performed, the surgery of this arterial district offers very good early and late results.
