Abstract Background and aims: The abdominal aorta usually terminates at the level of L4 vertebral body into common iliac arteries. With the present day advancements in vascular surgery and neurological surgeries involving approach to lumbar vertebral bodies, we need to know any variations from this normal course. So, the present study aimed at knowing the anatomical variations in the termination of abdominal aorta and in common iliac arteries which might prove to be of some help in some of such surgeries. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 35 adult (29 males and 6 females) embalmed cadavers obtained from anatomy departments of Govt. Medical college, Amritsar and Gian Sagar Medical college, Ramnagar, Punjab. The abdominal cavity was opened, peritoneum stripped off from aorta at its bifurcation, variations in its termination, common iliac arteries and their branches were carefully observed and recorded. Results: In 54.29% cases the level of aortic bifurcation was found opposite 4th Lumbar vertebra, in the rest it was variable between L3 and L5 vertebra. Conclusions: These variations may lead to some trouble during vertebral surgeries, making it essential to investigate and locate the exact position of great vessels before the commencement of surgery.

<p>Diseases of peripheral arteries are considered to be one of the main reasons for hospitalization of patients in specialized departments of vascular surgery. Patients with atherosclerotic lesions of the lower limb vessels, especially with prolonged occlusions of the aorto-iliac arterial segments, usually undergo open shunt interventions. The aim of the case is to demonstrate successful endovascular treatment of prolonged occlusion of the aorta and iliac arteries. A 54-year-old patient complained of pain in both legs while walking for more than 100 m. The history of the disease was at least 5 years. The examination revealed occlusion of the abdominal aorta at the level of the lower third, common iliac arteries. Given the anatomical features of atherosclerotic lesion, the presence of a residual aortic lumen that could be used as a guiding cult for recanalization of the occluded aorto-iliac segment and a pronounced comorbid background, it was decided to perform endovascular surgery. Stenting of the infrarenal aorta, right and left common iliac arteries yielded good angiographic and clinical results. The case report demonstrates high efficiency of endovascular treatment of the Lerish syndrome and thus reducing the risk of perioperative complications, the length of the patient's stay in the hospital. Such complex and volumetric operations can be performed only with the appropriate equipment, the presence of a hybrid operating room and coordinated work of the “vascular” team the members of which have complete mastery over open and endovascular surgery.<br /><br />Received 14 May 2018.

The case of a 58-year-old woman with leg claudication due to a very rare form of atherosclerosis affecting the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta – known as coral reef aorta – without involvement of the femoro-distal vessels is reported. The patient was treated with a polyester bifurcation graft from the proximal descending aorta to both common iliac arteries via a left dorsal minithoracotomy and a second left retroperitoneal approach. This unusual approach was chosen instead of direct aortic replacement in order to prevent paraplegia. In case of future visceral or left renal malperfusion the diseased artery can be connected to the prosthesis directly or by the use of an additional bypass graft. This would not be the case with a conventional axillo-bifemoral graft.
