Aortofemoral bypass surgery is a type of vascular surgery that is performed to treat aortoiliac occlusive diseases, commonly known as Leriche syndrome, by inserting an artificial tube (graft) from the end of the body's main artery (aorta) to the artery that supply blood to the legs (femoral artery). The graft allows blood to flow around places where blood arteries are obstructed.
Aortobifemoral bypass surgery is performed when the graft is placed into both femoral arteries.
