Aortic bifemoral (aortobifemoral) bypass is a surgical procedure that is performed in patients with atherosclerotic disease of the infrarenal aorta and iliac vessels (see the images below). Most patients who undergo this procedure have symptoms of claudication, impotence, and poorly healing ulcers.

Femoral popliteal (also called femoropopliteal or Fem-Pop) bypass surgery is a procedure used to treat femoral artery disease. It is performed to bypass the blocked portion of main artery in the leg using a piece of another blood vessel.

Femorofemoral (femoral-femoral) bypass is a method of surgical revascularization used in the setting of unilateral common and/or external iliac artery occlusive disease.
