ABSTRACT
Despite its relative underutilization in the primary management of aortoiliac occlusive disease, thoracofemoral bypass is an attractive extra-anatomic surgical option in select patients. Thoracofemoral bypass classically entails passing a graft from the left chest into the retroperitoneal space through a small opening created in the diaphragm. While theoretically possible that this maneuver may predispose to a peri-graft diaphragmatic hernia, currently there are no cases of this complication reported in the literature, nor has its surgical repair been described. This case illustrates the rare complication of symptomatic diaphragmatic hernia following a thoracobifemoral bypass.
