Abstract
3 cases of ureteric obstruction secondary to aortic femoral bypass grafting are presented. This complication has been infrequently reported and we feel that it may be more common than is recognised. In all other published cases the ureter lay behind the prosthesis but the authors present a surgically proved case where the ureter lay in its normal position. The aseptic vascular reconstructive surgical procedures are to be preferred to ureteric reconstruction.
