Ureteral obstructions following aortoiliac or aortofemoral bypass grafting for aortoiliac occlusive and aneurysmal disease are infrequently reported. Ureteral obstructions can be self-limiting and resolve without further treatment or can signify a more serious underlying complication such as graft infection or a pseudoaneurysm formation. The authors present a series of five patients with ureteral obstruction secondary to aortobifemoral bypass grafting. Different treatment options are described and an algorithm for the management of these complications is presented.
