  • Title: The incidence of ureteral obstruction secondary to aorto-femoral bypass surgery. A prospective study.
    Author: Henriksen LO, Mejdahl S, Petersen F, Tøonnesen KH, Holstein PE.
    Journal: Eur J Vasc Surg; 1988 Dec; 2(6):417-8. PubMed ID: 3253125.
    Abstract:
    Hydronephrosis is reported to be an infrequent complication of aorto-femoral bypass operations. To define the true incidence of this complication, renography (131I-Hippuran) and renal scintigraphy (99 Technetium) were performed both pre- and postoperatively on 56 asymptomatic patients following successful aortic reconstruction. No patient developed signs of ureteral obstruction. It is concluded that hydronephrosis is a rare complication to aorto-femoral bypass surgery and postoperative control is only indicated in patients with symptoms from the urinary tract.
