End to side aortobifemoral bypass. End to side so that you can perfuse the pelvis via the open R internal iliac Aortobifemoral bc it has the best patency rates in this relatively healthy young guy Stents can’t use if occluded, more for focal stenosis Ax fem bypass low patency rates only for old comorbid man
