Juxtarenal aortic occlusion is one of the most important though less frequent atherosclerotic lesions. The indications for surgical treatment using bypass techniques, are well known. However, controversy remains about the pathogenesis of the lesion; from either a thrombosis developing on an atherosclerotic lesion of the terminal aorta, or a primary atherosclerosis of the subrenal aorta. In our series of 1,180 patients submitted to surgery for aorto-iliac occlusive disease, we encountered 91 cases (7.7%) of juxtarenal occlusion. Apart from the different angiographic pictures, the patients were grouped on the operative finding of either thrombosis or atheroma. An aortobifemoral bypass graft was implanted on all but three of the cases; in these three we performed an axillo-bifemoral bypass. A different technique was used, for juxtarenal disobliteration, using a different (end-to-end, or end-to-side) suture of the proximal anastomosis. The operative indications and results are discussed.
