The technical difficulties in performing a transplantation can often be joined by an accident that demands an urgent solutions, putting the life of the patient in serious risk. In our case we were forced to perform an iliofemoral PTFE graft substitution to save the vascularization of the right lower limb. The cause was constituted by a dissection in the external iliac artery wall immediately after upstream declamping. Fortunately quick understanding of the complication made us stop the lesion downstream before it involved the femoral district. In addition the renal artery was already not declamped and the organ not perfused. Successively we anastomosed the renal artery to the PTFE graft with an end-to side anastomosis. Our first target was obviously to preserve the low limb vascularization but, with this solution we managed also to save the allograft. Actually renal function is conserved and with an optimal state of the vascular graft.
