We present a new intra-abdominal extra-anatomic bypass graft for a 64-year-old man treated with an abdominal aortic endograft and with signs of endograft infection. We performed surgical removal of the endograft and intra-abdominal extra-anatomic reconstruction of a hepatic-to-right external iliac artery bypass with autologous superficial femoral vein and a crossover graft between the right and left external iliac artery with the great saphenous vein. The later occlusion of the saphenous vein graft led us to perform a femoral-femoral prosthetic crossover. At 42 months from the intervention, the patient was in good health, and duplex scanning confirmed the patency of all grafts.
